2024 SEI No Change Form
Those candidates running for the same office and who filed a 2023 SEI.  You may  file a 2024 No Change Form if there were no changes to the information disclosed on the last SEI Long Form filed.

Those Serving in a Covered Position in 2024 Who File a 2024 SEI As A Candidate Will Satisfy Their Regular SEI Filing Requirement
If you are currently serving in a  position which requires that you file a 2024 SEI you should file as a candidate and a current covered person, satisfying both the annual SEI filing requirement and the candidate filing requirement.  However, in order to meet the candidate SEI filing deadline you must file your 2024 SEI no later than January 22, 2024.
