FEC & Georgia Campaign Finance Compliance Guidelines

This page outlines the disclaimer and compliance requirements all campaigns, committees, and PACs must follow when purchasing advertising on Swing Vote America. Review these guidelines before submitting your ad buy to avoid delays in approval.

Instructions for campaigns submitting ad purchases regarding disclaimer guidelines (e.g., "Paid for by [Candidate Name/Committee]").

• Every paid political ad must display a disclaimer identifying the sponsoring candidate, committee, or PAC (e.g., "Paid for by [Candidate Name/Committee]").
• Disclaimers must be clearly legible and not obscured by other ad elements.
• PAC-sponsored ads must name the PAC exactly as registered with the FEC or Georgia Government Transparency and Campaign Finance Commission.
• Ads lacking a compliant disclaimer will be rejected or paused until corrected.
