1. The statute (RSA 70:6 (supp.)) providing that candidates for major political offices shall file a statement of election receipts and expenditures by a fixed date requires the filing of such a statement although the candidate had no receipts or expenditures.
2. A statement by such political candidate reporting no receipts or expenditures and received by the Secretary of State two days after the date specified by the statute for the filing of such statement was not compliance with the statute.
WHEELER, J.
RSA 70:6 (supp.) provides that a candidate for Representative in Congress shall file a statement of receipts and expenditures covering the period of his candidacy, not later than the Wednesday preceding the primary before the close of the business day. See RSA 70:5 (supp.). In this case that was September 5, 1956. The statute requires that such statement be filed even though the candidate has had no receipts or expenditures. A filing on September 7, 1956, was not compliance with the statute. State v. Sullivan, 101 N.H. 429.
Motion denied.
