Electioneering communication refers to any broadcast, cable, or satellite communication that clearly advocates for the election or defeat of a specific candidate. This type of communication is often used during election campaigns to influence voters' opinions and decisions. It can include advertisements, speeches, and other forms of media that promote a candidate's platform or criticize their opponents. In the United States, electioneering communication is regulated by the Federal Election Commission (FEC) to ensure transparency and fairness in the electoral process. Organizations and individuals engaging in such communication may be required to disclose their funding sources and adhere to specific guidelines to maintain compliance with campaign finance laws.
