Campaign Funds Integrity Act of 2026

The Campaign Funds Integrity Act of 2026 prohibits political candidates, authorized committees, and other political committees from using campaign funds to participate in prediction markets or event contracts tied to elections or political outcomes. This restriction applies to any financial instrument whose value depends on the result of a future political, economic, or regulatory event. While the law bans speculative investments, it explicitly allows funds to be used for standard banking deposits, diversified mutual funds, and other low-risk financial instruments. Violations of this rule can result in civil penalties, and knowing or willful violations may lead to criminal charges including fines and up to five years in prison. The Federal Election Commission will be responsible for creating regulations to define permissible investments and enforce these new compliance requirements.
