Election.org fact sheet

What the site is, who runs it, how it is paid for and how to cite it.

What Election.org is

A nonpartisan public record of U.S. elections: ballots, candidates, officials, campaign money and vote counts, each shown with the official source it came from. It does not endorse candidates or measures and does not call races.

It reads 115 public datasets, including 21,000 federal political committees, 7,417 state legislators and official vote counts from 16 state election offices. Each dataset keeps its source and the date it was last checked on the coverage page.

Who runs it

Jackson Jesionowski founded Election.org and leads its development. The site is operated by Election Powerhouse, Inc. For questions, page claims or improvements, email jackson@election.org.

How it is paid for

Election.org operates at a loss. Voluntary reader support keeps the public tools free; payments go to Election Powerhouse, Inc. and are not tax-deductible. The company also sells merchandise and campaign services. Payment never buys a ranking, an endorsement or a change to a reported fact. The transparency page has the details.

How to cite it

Credit “Data via Election.org” with a link to the page you used, and name the original source that page cites, such as the Federal Election Commission or a state election office. Election.org claims no ownership of public facts; each source's own terms still apply. The API guide has ready-made citations.

The name is written in lowercase, “election.org”. Please use these files rather than redrawing it.
