Campaign finance disclosure laws

Campaign finance disclosure laws require political campaigns and organizations to regularly report their sources of funding and how they spend money. These laws aim to promote transparency by providing the public with information about who is financially supporting candidates and causes. The details are typically submitted to government agencies and made publicly available. This helps prevent corruption, undue influence, and ensures voters can make informed decisions. While rules vary by jurisdiction, the core goal is to ensure accountability in the political process by revealing the financial backing behind campaigns.
