美國大選沒有用完的經費怎麼處理？

大選監察機構(Federal Election Commission)：

http://www.fec.gov/

相關法律：441a-1(4) 基本是說要歸還給捐款者

http://www.fec.gov/law/feca/feca.pdf

(4) Disposal of excess contributions.

(A) In general. The aggregate amount of contributions accepted by a candidate or a candidate』s authorized committee under the increased limit under paragraph (1) and not otherwise expended in connection with the election with respect to which such contributions relate shall, not later than 50 days after the date of such election, be used in the manner described in subparagraph (B).

(B) Return to contributors. A candidate or a candidate』s authorized committee shall return the excess contribution to the person who made the contribution.

但是根據華爾街日報一個專欄：可以隨意使用（私人用途除外），比如下屆競選，黨內資金，慈善等等。

According to the FEC, if a candidate for federal office (a presidential hopeful, say) loses and is a congressperson, he or she can roll over unused money into a re-election kitty. They can also repay themselves for personal funds used during the campaign up to a certain amount, depending on the race and when those funds were used. They can contribute the dollars to a charity. Candidates may also return money to contributors, but determining who gets how much is a delicate operation avoided by most, if not all, candidates. For local elections, state rules vary.

「The rule is that [campaign donations] can』t be used for personal use,」 says FEC spokesperson Bob Biersack.

還在繼續查這方面相關資料。。。

謝邀

一般來說，是會留著用的。政治生涯長著呢，有的是用的地方。另外，還可以轉給所屬黨的全國委員會，用於支持其他人。
