Federal employees are permitted to register and vote, to sign nomination petitions, and may participate in political activities on their personal time (such as attending a campaign rally).  Except for "further restricted employees", Federal employees may also run for office in [[nonpartisan election]]s (such as city councils or school boards).

All Federal employees cannot use their authority to affect the results of an election. They are also forbidden to run for office in a partisan election (with exceptions for certain areas where Federal employees are the vast majority of the population), to solicit or receive political contributions, and to engage in political activities while on duty or on federal property. They can't wear campaign buttons.
