c. A third statement shall be filed within twenty days next succeeding

before such election, shall be reported, in the same manner as other
contributions, within twenty-four hours after receipt.

3. It shall not be necessary to itemize in any statement the data

4. A statement shall be deemed properly filed when deposited in an
established post-office within the prescribed time, duly stamped,
registered and directed to the clerk of the school district in which he
is a candidate and to the commissioner of education, but in the event it
is not received, a duplicate of such statement shall be promptly filed
upon notice by the school district administrative officer and/or the
commissioner of its non-receipt. Each statement shall be preserved for a
period of three years from the date of filing thereof and it shall
constitute a part of the public records and shall be open to public
inspection.
