FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION The Federal Election Commission (FEC) is seeking an individual in the OIG community to work on a reimbursable 120-day detail beginning May 13, 2019 (which could be extended for an additional 90 to 120 days upon mutual agreement) to serve as Acting FEC Inspector General (IG), until the recruitment and appointment of a new, permanent Inspector General is completed.

The FEC also administers the federal programs that provide public funding to qualified candidates for President and Vice President. By ensuring that the required campaign finance disclosures are made and that the campaign finance rules are effectively and fairly enforced, the Commission seeks to foster the electorate's confidence in the integrity of the nation's political process. The FEC is headed by six Commissioners, no more than three of whom may represent the same political party, who are appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
