Summary
In 1975, Congress created the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to administer and enforce the Federal Election Campaign Act (FECA) - the statute that governs the financing of federal elections. The duties of the FEC, which is an independent regulatory agency, are 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. The FEC Web site offers extensive sections on press, campaign finance reports and data, enforcement matters, and help with reporting and compliance. In addition there is a useful quick answers section.
