Donations made to political groups or candidates must be disclosed under state law for greater transparency in elections according to Utah's campaign finance code. While Congress created the Federal Election Commission to oversee federal elections in 1974, each state is left to regulate its local elections. The Government Accountability Office reviews current campaign finance law and makes recommendations for how to keep the laws relevant.
