The Federal Election Commission (FEC) serves to oversee and enforce federal campaign finance laws in the United States. Its primary purpose is to ensure transparency in political donations and expenditures, promoting fair electoral competition. The FEC administers the public funding of presidential elections, monitors compliance with campaign finance regulations, and investigates potential violations. By regulating financial contributions and expenditures, the FEC aims to diminish corruption and enhance public trust in the electoral process, thereby supporting democratic practices.
