Political Activity Rules

Lobbying + Political Activity Webinar Series

2017

This webinar discusses the laws that govern how CAAs engage in political activity, and will address questions such as:

  • What is political campaign activity and how is it different from lobbying and advocacy?
  • Can our CAA get involved with activities like voter registration, voter education, candidate forums, endorsing candidates, or issue advocacy?
  • What is the Hatch Act, and how does it limit the off-duty political activity of our employees?
