Federal Employees Political Activities Act

The Federal Employees Political Activities Act (FEPA) is a law that outlines what political activities federal employees can engage in while ensuring that government operations remain nonpartisan. It allows employees to participate in political activities, such as voting and contributing to campaigns, but restricts them from actively campaigning during work hours or using their official position to influence elections. The act aims to balance employees' rights to political expression with the need to maintain a neutral and impartial federal workforce, preventing any potential conflicts of interest in government functions.
