The Federal Election Commission

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent U.S. government agency responsible for enforcing federal election laws. It oversees campaign finance activities, such as the collection and disclosure of contributions and expenditures by candidates, political parties, and interest groups. The FEC aims to ensure transparency, fairness, and compliance with legal limits to prevent corruption or undue influence in federal elections. It also provides public access to campaign finance data, helping voters and watchdog organizations monitor election activities and maintain the integrity of the electoral process.
