A public-record contract

Useful without pretending the source proves more than it does.

01

Sourced, not scored

Candidate names, filing classifications, dates, and available financial totals come from published FEC records. Election.org never ranks or endorses candidates.

02

Ballot status stays explicit

A federal filing is not proof that a candidate qualified for a state-administered ballot. The warning travels with every card.

03

No surveillance layer

The embed does not accept an address, set advertising cookies, or require a reader account. Publisher referrers follow the browser’s own policy.

04

Permanent research path

Every card points to the canonical race page and public JSON, so citations remain useful after an individual article ages.

Need the records, not the card?

The public API returns equal candidate fields, election dates, source context, and explicit coverage boundaries. Use the OpenAPI document for a newsroom tool, university project, or civic product.
