Reliability and Quality of Data

The information presented in the Campaign Finance Reporting Database is, to the best of our ability, a timely and accurate representation of the campaign statements filed.

Almost all of the information in the database has been filed electronically by the committees.

As you are querying the data and viewing the results, you may find items which are inconsistent with filing requirements, such as blank items or incorrect data. It is likely that they are incorrect or missing in the database because they were incorrect or missing on the reports submitted.

The information is deemed reliable, but not guaranteed. It is recommended that the information be cross-referenced with the original campaign report on file. Committees may also have filed amendments or updates to their campaign statements which are not reflected in the database. Any data anticipated to be published should be confirmed with candidates and committees referenced.
