Campaign finance laws are regulations that govern how money is raised and spent during political campaigns. These laws aim to ensure transparency and fairness in the electoral process by limiting contributions from individuals, organizations, and political action committees (PACs). They also require candidates to disclose their financial activities, helping voters understand who is funding their campaigns. In many countries, including the United States, campaign finance laws are enforced by government agencies, such as the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Violations of these laws can lead to penalties, including fines and restrictions on future campaign activities, promoting accountability among candidates and their supporters.
