FEC (Federal Election Commission)

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent government agency responsible for enforcing federal campaign finance laws. It regulates and oversees how candidates, political parties, and political action committees (PACs) raise and spend money in federal elections. The FEC ensures transparency by requiring reporting of contributions and expenditures, and it enforces limits on donations to prevent corruption. Its goal is to promote fair, transparent elections by maintaining compliance with legal standards governing political funding, thereby helping voters have confidence in the electoral process.
