WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 07th May, 2021) The Federal Elections Commission (FEC) voted unanimously to adopt a motion that recommends a ban on the practice of automatically registering political donors as recurring contributors.
"Congress should amend FECA [Federal Election Campaign Act] to require those soliciting recurring contributions to receive the affirmative consent of the contributors, to disclose additional information to their financial supporters and to immediately cancel recurring contributions upon request," the FEC said on Thursday.
Donors who find out that they have become recurring contributors to political action committees have contacted the FEC and said many have not been made aware of the pre-checked boxes used to sign them up.
The FEC recommendation will be sent to Congress as it ultimately has the authority to amend the relevant sections of the Federal Election Campaign Act.
