The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is an independent agency of the US federal government, responsible for enforcing federal campaign finance laws and overseeing federal elections. Created in 1974, the FEC is led by six commissioners nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. The commission's duties include disclosing campaign finance information, enforcing contribution limits, and overseeing public funding of Presidential elections. Despite its importance, the FEC has faced challenges, including a lack of quorum under the Trump administration, which hindered its ability to function effectively.
