Open States supplies the normalized roster. When one of its contact or portrait fields is empty, Election.org can fill that gap only from a name-matched official legislative page and keeps the source attached to that individual field.

Sources and update dates

The federal layer is rebuilt from the public-domain congressional corpus, the state layer from Open States People, and the candidate and money layer from FEC bulk files. Connected pages use the same stored records. Their source dates show when those records were last checked; a scheduled job is not proof that a refresh succeeded.
