Litigation

The Commission brings enforcement suits in U.S. District Courts when matters are not satisfactorily resolved through the administrative enforcement process and sues to enforce administrative subpoenas. The agency also defends suits contesting its dismissals of administrative complaints, petitions for review of Commission decisions regarding the Presidential public funding program and civil suits challenging the constitutionality of provisions of the FECA and the validity of the Commission's regulations.

Our litigation materials are divided into three sections:

• Ongoing Litigation
  Lists active litigation involving the FEC. Each case listed has a dedicated page including a case summary, as well as links to court opinions and related documents filed in the suit.
• Selected Campaign Finance Court Cases
  Identifies key court cases relating to the campaign finance law.
• Alphabetical Court Case Index
  Lists FEC cases alphabetically with links to summaries and, for some cases, to court opinions and other documents.
