Abbreviation for Federal Election Commission, the U.S. agency that regulates campaign finance, or Forward Error Correction in telecommunications.
20th century acronym formation. Federal Election Commission established 1975 after Watergate reforms; Forward Error Correction emerged with digital communications technology requiring error detection and correction.
This acronym spans two completely different worlds of regulation - one governing how Americans choose leaders, the other ensuring digital messages arrive intact, both dealing with integrity in their own spheres.
