The FEC needs your comments on two party rulemaking petitions

January 17, 2017

The Commission is currently accepting public comments in response to two citizen petitions.  The first, REG 2016-03 Political Party Rules Petition, asks the Commission to revise existing rules regarding the use of federal funds to pay for certain activities of state, district, or local committees of a political party. The second, REG 2014-10 Party Contribution Limits, asks the Commission to amend its regulations to implement amendments to the Federal Election Campaign Act made by the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2015, which established certain new accounts for national party committees, and to amend the Commission’s regulations regarding convention committees.  The deadline for comments on both petitions is January 30, 2017.
