Each campaign treasurer designated by a County candidate shall file regular reports of all contributions received, and all expenditures made, by or on behalf of such candidate. Reports shall be filed electronically on the 10th day following the end of each calendar month from the time the campaign treasurer is appointed, except that, if the 10th day following the end of a calendar month quarter occurs on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the report shall be filed on the next following day that which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
