PART 102_REGISTRATION, ORGANIZATION, AND RECORDKEEPING BY POLITICAL 

COMMITTEES (2 U.S.C. 433)--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 102.14  Names of political committees (2 U.S.C. 432(e) (4) and (5)).



    (a) The name of each authorized committee shall include the name of 

the candidate who authorized such committee. Except as provided in 

paragraph (b) of this section, no unauthorized committee shall include 

the name of any candidate in its name. For purposes of this paragraph, 

``name'' includes any name under which a committee conducts activities, 

such as solicitations or other communications, including a special 

project name or other designation.

    (b)(1) A delegate committee, as defined at 11 CFR 100.5(e)(5), shall 

include the word delegate(s) in its name and may also include in its 

name the name of the presidential candidate which the delegate committee 

supports.

    (2) A political committee established solely to draft an individual 

or to encourage him or her to become a candidate may include the name of 

such individual in the name of the committee provided the committee's 

name clearly indicates that it is a draft committee.

    (3) An unauthorized political committee may include the name of a 

candidate in the title of a special project name or other communication 

if the title clearly and unambiguously shows opposition to the named 

candidate.

    (c) The name of a separate segregated fund established pursuant to 

11 CFR 102.1(c) shall include the full name of its connected 

organization. Such fund may also use a clearly recognized abbreviation 

or acronym by which the connected organization is commonly known. Both 

the full name and such abbreviation or acronym shall be included on the 

fund's Statement of Organization, on all reports filed by the fund, and 

in all notices required by 11 CFR 109.11 and 110.11. The fund may make 

contributions using its acronym or abbreviated name. A fund established 

by a corporation which has a number of subsidiaries need not include the 

name of each subsidiary in its name. Similarly, a separate segregated 

fund established by a subsidiary need not include in its name the name 

of its parent or another subsidiary of its parent.
