August 19, 2025
To mark the agency’s 50th anniversary, the Commission has published an updated interactive timeline that highlights some of the landmark events in the agency’s history.
First developed a decade ago to mark the agency’s 40th anniversary, the timeline highlights notable dates in FEC history and focuses on eight major categories: the Commission, Disclosure, Enforcement, Legislation, Litigation, Outreach, Public Funding and Regulations.
From the earliest days of the agency to more recent developments, the timeline offers brief descriptions of key events, supplemented by photos, videos and links to additional information.
