(a) Seven days before the primary election withdrawal date set in AS 15.25.055 and seven days before the general election withdrawal date set in AS 15.25.200 , the staff of the commission shall provide to the commission a list of the candidates for state elective office whose statements are incomplete.

(b) Upon receipt of a list described in (a) of this section, the commission will schedule a meeting to consider the list. The staff of the commission shall notify a candidate for state elective office who is on the list about the time, date, and place of the meeting.

(c) If, at or after the meeting scheduled under (b) of this section, the commission determines that a candidate for state elective office has not supplied required information on a major source of income, interest in real property, business interest, loan, or trust, the commission will recommend that the lieutenant governor remove the candidate's name from the ballot. If the candidate's name cannot be removed from the ballot, the commission will recommend that the lieutenant governor not certify the candidate's nomination for office or election to office.
