non-partisan agency

A non-partisan agency is a government organization that operates independently of political influence or party interests. Its primary goal is to make decisions and carry out functions based on facts, evidence, and established rules rather than political pressure or partisan agendas. Examples include regulatory agencies, certain oversight bodies, and scientific institutions that require objectivity to ensure fair, unbiased, and trustworthy results for the public. This independence helps maintain public confidence and ensures that decisions are driven by rational analysis rather than political considerations.
