Do you know whether it is a Hatch Act violation to forward an email you received from a political party? Are you permitted to tweet your views about a candidate during your lunch break? How about inviting friends to a fundraiser? 

Make sure you and your agency are prepared for the presidential election. Join OGE’s Institute for Ethics in Government for an informative discussion with Ana Galindo-Marrone, Chief and Erica Hamrick, Deputy Chief of the Hatch Act Unit at the Office of Special Counsel.  

We will discuss in detail the prohibited and permitted activities under the Hatch Act, which governs the political activity of federal employees. Special attention will be placed on novel issues and emerging trends the Office of Special Counsel observed during and since the last election cycle. For example, the session will wrestle with Hatch Act issues surrounding agency and employee participation on Facebook, Twitter, and the like.
