Federal Election Commission September 10, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Federal Election Commission is revising its rules as to the activities that constitute ``Federal election activity'' under the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended. Specifically, these final rules modify the definitions of ``voter registration activity'' and ``get-out-the-vote activity,'' in response to the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in Shays v. FEC.
