OFFICIAL DATA LIVE

Illinois current-cycle receipt and expenditure rows are connected from the official State Board of Elections statewide and local committee disclosure files. Source-marked archived versions are removed; all contributor and payee identities are withheld because the export does not reliably distinguish people from organizations. Unitemized activity below disclosure thresholds, audited totals, federal filings, and entity resolution remain outside this adapter's stated scope.

The official receipt file contains person names, addresses, ZIP codes, occupation, and employer fields but no reliable person-versus-organization classification. Election.org processes those rows only in memory, persists none of those identity or location fields, and publishes no named contributor aggregates. The source does not provide a reliable contributor entity classification, so no entity-code breakdown is published.

The official expenditure file contains payee names, addresses, ZIP codes, purpose, candidate, office, and support/opposition fields but no reliable person-versus-organization classification. Election.org processes those rows only in memory, persists none of those fields, and publishes no named payee aggregates.

Named contributor privacy boundary

Contributor identities are withheld.

The official receipt file contains person names, addresses, ZIP codes, occupation, and employer fields but no reliable person-versus-organization classification. Election.org processes those rows only in memory, persists none of those identity or location fields, and publishes no named contributor aggregates.

Illinois says these downloadable campaign-disclosure files cover candidate, political party, political action, and ballot initiative committees, including state and local committees. Itemized rows are disclosure records, not audited totals; the Board notes that smaller receipts and expenditures may not be itemized under reporting thresholds.
