The Federal Election Commission is an independent federal regulatory agency governed by six Commissioners appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The agency has exclusive jurisdiction for the administration, interpretation, and civil enforcement of the Federal Election Campaign Act, which regulates campaign contributions and expenditures and disclosures of such, by candidates for federal office and committees supporting those candidates. The legal work at the Commission regularly involves important and complex issues implicating the First Amendment.
The FEC is located in Penn Quarter, an area of northwest Washington, DC offering access to government agencies, residential living, casual and fine dining, shopping, a major sports arena, and several theaters. The FEC is located near several METRO subway and bus stations.
