FEC to host March 23 webinar for candidate committees (2022)
The Commission will hold a one-day online seminar for federal candidates and their campaign committees on March 23, 2022. Commission staff will conduct several technical workshops on the federal campaign finance laws affecting federal candidates. 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.
Attendees can choose one of two options. Option 1 includes three sessions: a morning session, Basics for Beginners, which will introduce federal campaign finance laws, regulations, and reporting requirements to those new to federal campaigns; and a two-part Candidate Committee Operations webinar in the afternoon, which will go into much more detail on raising funds, making disbursements, and the disclosure rules that apply to federal candidate committees. Option 2, for those more experienced, includes just the two afternoon sessions. This will be the only full-day training geared specifically toward federal candidates and their campaign committees before the 2022 elections, so register today to reserve your spot.
Webinar information
An email containing a link to workshop materials, technical information and additional instructions will be sent to registered participants the day before the webinar.
