Beginning on the 10th late day, the agency can fine the candidate or committee $50 per day for a maximum of 10 days.[2][3]

The commission is made up of eight members appointed to four-year terms. The governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the House of Representatives, and chief justice of the Supreme Court each appoint two members.[4]
