As a supplement to our conferences, workshops and other educational outreach programs, the Federal Election Commission now offers instructional content on-line, including video workshops and interactive presentations. Peruse the educational videos and test your knowledge of the campaign finance law on our E-Learning Resources page.
Each year, the Federal Election Commission sponsors conferences where Commissioners and staff conduct a variety of technical workshops on the law. Discussion topics include fundraising, reporting and communications. Workshops are designed for those seeking an introduction to the basic provisions of the law as well as for those more experienced in campaign finance law.
