Federal Election Commission Announces New Contribution Limits -

Each year, as mandated by the Federal Election Campaign Act (“the Act”), the Federal Election Commission (“FEC”) must adjust both expenditure limitations and the lobbyist bundling disclosure threshold set forth in the Act to account for inflation reflected by changes in the consumer price index. The adjusted limits apply only to general elections held during 2016, including special elections. The effective date for the adjusted limits is January 1, 2016.

Coordinated Party Expenditure Limits for 2016. The expenditure limitation established by 52 U.S.C. 30116(d) (the limits on expenditures by national party committees, state party committees, or their subordinate committees in connection with the general election campaign of candidates for federal office) is increased each year by the percent difference between the price index, as certified to the FEC by the Secretary of Labor, for the 12 months preceding the beginning of the calendar year and the price index for the base period (calendar year 1974). See 52 U.S.C. 30116(c).
