New Mexico Regulations § 1.10.13.23 DATE CONTRIBUTION IS MADE VS DATE OF RECEIPT

A. A contribution is "made" by the contributor when the contributor relinquishes control over it. If the contributor hand delivers a contribution, the contribution is made on the delivery date. If mailed, a contribution is made on the date of the postmark. An in-kind contribution is made on the date that the goods or services are provided by the contributor. A contribution made via the internet is considered made on the date the contributor electronically confirms the transaction.

B. The date of receipt is the date the candidate, committee or person acting on the committee's behalf, actually receives the contribution. This is the date that shall be used to report the contribution. The date of deposit is not used for reporting or contribution limit purposes.

C. When a contribution is received through debit or credit card charges, the date of receipt is the date on which the contributor's signed or electronic authorization to charge the contribution is received by the candidate, committee or a person acting on the committee's behalf.

D. The date of receipt of in-kind contributions is the date the goods or services are provided to the recipient.
