5. For a special election candidate, or joint candidates, the committee shall file a quarterly report on a quarterly report filing date set forth in (b) above that falls within five months of the date on which the 20-day postelection report closed, that is, within five months of the 17th day after the date of the special election.

(d) The initial quarterly report filed by a candidate committee, or joint candidates committee, after the filing of a 20-day postelection report, shall begin with the reporting of the first contribution received, expenditure made, or other reportable transaction occurring on the 18th day following the date of election. Subsequent quarterly reports shall include the time periods set forth in (b) above.
