From: http://www.fec.gov/press/press2000/elecCycleNPRM.htm Under current regulations, an election cycle begins on the day after the general election for the office or seat that the candidate seeks and ends on the day of the next general election for that seat or office. The length of the election cycle depends on the office sought -- a two-year cycle for House of Representatives' candidates, six years for Senate candidates, and four years for Presidential candidates. Campaign finance reports are due monthly or quarterly, depending on the committee, with a pre- and post-election report, and a year-end report due on January 31 of the following year.
