To date, political committees, individuals and organizations have disclosed spending $485 million on independent expendituresduring the 2024 election cycle. If you'd like to learn more about these unlimited express advocacy communications, as well as other types of communications frequently made close to an election, register now to attend the Commission's September 11 Independent Expenditures & Pre-Election Communications Webinar.

The FEC's Information and Reports Analysis Divisions will review the rules and reporting requirements for political committees-including Super PACsand Hybrid PACs, individuals, and organizations that make independent expenditures. Participants will learn the difference between independent expenditures and coordinated communications, and the consequences of making one rather than the other. We'll also cover electioneering communications, review disclaimer requirements and work through scenarios demonstrating how and when to report different types of communications. Participants will be able to interact with FEC staff and get real-time answers from presenters and hosts.
