Federal Elections Commission

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent regulatory body in the United States responsible for overseeing federal elections. Established in 1975, its main duties include enforcing campaign finance laws, ensuring transparency in campaign donations, and monitoring the spending of political candidates and parties. The FEC also provides guidelines for campaign advertising and political fundraising. By promoting fair practices, the FEC aims to maintain the integrity of the electoral process and ensure that voters have access to information about who is funding campaigns.
