CAL-ACCESS · 2025–2026 cycle

California contribution rows over time

Official raw export ↗

Current-amendment, non-memo RCPT rows dated in the 2025-2026 cycle through the verification date. These itemized row amounts are not represented as total receipts, cash on hand, or a complete candidate financial summary. They are not total receipts: reporting thresholds, late reports, summary filings, and other transaction tables have different scope.

Individual contributor names, street addresses, ZIP codes, employers, and occupations are not stored in the public Election.org adapter. Counts and amounts are aggregated to recipient, month, and filer-reported entity code. The source’s filer-selected entity codes remain available as aggregate counts through the API.

CAL-ACCESS EXPN · 2025–2026 cycle

California expenditure rows over time

Official table documentation ↗

Current-amendment, non-memo EXPN rows dated in the 2025-2026 cycle through the verification date. Schedule D, E, G, and other source form rows remain separately counted, so their signed row amounts are not represented as total campaign spending or a deduplicated financial summary. They are not total campaign spending, and source filing schedules remain separately exposed through the API.

How this adapter keeps source claims bounded

Official source adapter

Identify the current government filing/search system and its export or API contract.

Entity resolution

Preserve state IDs and connect candidates, committees, donors, and vendors without guessing identities.

Amendment rules

For each campaign filing, only the maximum AMEND_ID is retained because the Secretary of State documentation says campaign amendments replace the filing.

Fail-closed validation

Reject incomplete or structurally changed pulls before they can become public totals.
