Federal Election Commission

United States independent regulatory agency that regulates federal elections

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent agency of the United States federal government that enforces federal campaign finance laws and oversees federal elections of the United States. Created in 1974 through amendments to the Federal Election Campaign Act, the commission describes its duties as "to disclose campaign finance information, to enforce the provisions of the law such as the limits and prohibitions on contributions, and to oversee the public funding of Presidential elections." It is led by six commissioners who are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
