The Federal Election Commission (FEC)

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is a U.S. government agency responsible for regulating and enforcing campaign finance laws for federal elections. It ensures transparency by monitoring how candidates, political parties, and interest groups raise and spend money. The FEC enforces limits on contributions, requires disclosures of donors, and oversees compliance with legal requirements to promote fair elections. Its goal is to maintain integrity and public confidence in the electoral process while balancing free political activity with transparency.
