47 COUNTRIES + 39 RESULTS ADAPTERS + 2 CIVIC-SYSTEM ADAPTERS LIVE

International country foundations

Permanent country IDs, electoral-management source labels, national election institutions, and parliamentary structures

47 countries · 39 national result adapters · 2 national civic-system adaptersThe 19 sovereign G20 members plus Spain, the G20's permanent guest invitee, form the transparent first major-country boundary; Belgium, Chile, the Netherlands, Nigeria, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Sweden, and Taiwan are official-source universal expansions beyond it. Every record includes an International IDEA electoral-management label and source year plus IPU-mapped parliamentary institutions. China and Saudi Arabia now publish source-bounded civic-system adapters that distinguish indirect election and appointment from a nationwide popular election result. National result adapters now cover 543 India constituencies, 650 UK constituencies, 343 Canadian ridings, 150 Australian divisions, 299 German constituencies, 577 French constituencies, all 52 South African National Ballot parties plus the final 400-seat allocation, all 3 final Mexican presidential candidacies across 32 state result groups, both official final 2022 Brazilian presidential rounds, all 47 Japan prefecture aggregates and 465 published House winning seats, Italy's 146 included Chamber districts with 390 source-marked standard-domestic winners, Argentina's official provisional 2023 runoff national endpoint plus all 24 district endpoints, Spain's definitive 2023 Congress result with all 52 constituencies and 350 named elected-result records, the Netherlands' final 2025 House result with all 27 national party totals, 20 electoral-district aggregates, and 150 named elected-result records, the Republic of Korea's 2025 presidential table with all 5 candidacies and 17 regions at a 100.0% source count status, Indonesia's official 2024 presidential valid-vote determination with all 3 tickets, 38 provinces, and the separately labeled overseas district, Türkiye's final 2023 presidential runoff with both candidacies, all 81 YSK province rows, and 3 separately accounted result components, Nigeria's official 2023 Presidential Election declaration with all 18 candidate totals plus 37 explicitly non-vote result-document coverage records, and Portugal's final 2025 Assembly result with 21 national candidature totals, 22 electoral-circle outcomes, 230 corrected elected-result names, and 3,092 separately labeled provisional parish rows; and Taiwan's official 2024 presidential result with all three candidate tickets, 22 city and county totals, 368 district and township totals, 7,738 village totals, and 17,795 polling-place rows, all fully reconciled. The United States remains the only full national platform, and every country page names its remaining coverage gaps. Their national-authority fields remain null because neither civic-system institution is mislabeled as an election-management authority.

Exact Census county, incorporated-place, and county-subdivision GEOIDs connect to functioning government entities; California county and incorporated-place matches add the official 2026 local public-official roster. Chicago, New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Houston, Phoenix, and Philadelphia full addresses now join through 8 fail-closed adapters covering 165 official ward, Council-district, or Supervisor-district boundaries and their current official rosters; ZIP district matches remain explicitly center-point estimates. An exact Los Angeles address in District 3 or 9 connects the matching certified November contest, while ZIP-only results never assign it. The preview is still not a complete specimen ballot, and FEC filing records are never labeled ballot-qualified.

Los Angeles certified municipal ballot

November 3, 2026 Mayor, City Attorney, City Council Districts 3 and 9, and all City measures

4 contests · 8 candidates · 8 attributed campaign images · 59 exact campaign statements · 118 dated position observations · 2 sourced debates · 3 City Clerk transcripts · 4 promise timelines · 43 sourced background records · 907 campaign-reported endorsements · 8 measuresEvery row in the City Clerk's certified candidate list and all 8 measures on its November index are present. All 8 candidates now have a separately attributed current campaign-site record and manually reviewed campaign image; two current sites were independently discovered because the City Clerk publication did not supply a usable current link. A standardized eight-field CV layer publishes 43 source-attributed background records and 34 explicit gaps across all eight candidates; only the certified occupational designation is an official ballot field, while the other 35 records remain campaign biography claims. The source-drift adapters also verify 59 exact campaign-published headings from 18 pages and 907 campaign-reported endorsement records from 8 pages. All 59 current statements have a matching archived observation, producing 118 dated archived/live observations; archive time is treated only as observed-by evidence and never a publication or change verdict. The media index records 2 sourced mayoral debate events, 9 verified topic timestamps, and 3 candidate-provided City Clerk transcripts while leaving 3 contest event gaps explicit. The promise-tracker seed adds 4 precisely documented commitments and 8 dated commitment/action records; it reports discrete actions or official measures without kept, broken, effort, motive, causation, or outcome grades, and it does not claim a complete promise inventory. Statements render in equal-topic matrices with 26 explicit empty cells. Endorsement page counts are inventory only and are never candidate rankings. Every measure source is visibly marked DRAFT; 2 files contain mismatched interior summary material, so only validated first-page ballot questions are summarized and the source issue is shown on-page.

The dataset retains exact source asset text, type code, transaction code, dates, value or range, owner code, filing status, notes, PDF page, and SHA-256. It keeps 6 Deleted rows as visible filing history but excludes them from active totals, and visibly flags 46 source-date anomalies.

California adds 1,959,247 amendment-normalized receipt rows and 2,206,851 expenditure rows. New York adds 1,136,412 contribution rows and 232,948 expenditure rows with amendment flags retained. Washington adds 388,807 contribution rows and 96,793 expenditure rows with signed correction adjustments preserved. Colorado adds 402,738 contribution rows and 97,126 expenditure rows after removing source-marked superseded versions. Massachusetts adds 763,820 receipt rows and 150,649 expenditure rows from OCPF's nightly latest-report-version exports, preserving exact four-decimal source sums. Pennsylvania adds 1,593,094 contribution entries and 550,900 Schedule III expenditure rows from official full-report exports, retaining source amendment flags without unsafe replacement. Florida adds 1,273,730 contribution rows and 149,421 expenditure rows from the official Division of Elections query, without claiming amendment normalization the source cannot prove. Connecticut adds 168,075 receipt rows and 36,686 disbursement rows from eight official SEEC CSVs; original and amendment rows remain separately included because the source provides no transaction replacement identity. Illinois adds 187,808 receipt rows and 187,751 expenditure rows from official statewide and local committee flat files after excluding source-marked archived versions. Minnesota adds 127,121 itemized contribution rows, 52,413 general-spending rows, and 2,674 independent-expenditure rows from official CFB bulk downloads, keeping independent spending separate to avoid double counting. Virginia adds 1,028,157 itemized cash and in-kind contribution rows and 178,363 itemized expenditure and in-kind rows from official daily CSV feeds after selecting the latest amendment for every stable ReportUID. North Carolina adds 749,561 receipt rows and 125,147 expenditure rows from separate official transaction-search CSV exports, each reconciled exactly to the source search count without an unsupported amendment-normalization claim. Individual transaction identities and addresses are withheld; Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois, and North Carolina contributor and payee names are also withheld, while Connecticut and Minnesota payee or vendor names are withheld because their exports do not classify people versus organizations. The other 44 jurisdiction transaction connectors remain explicit gaps.

The honest gap

A research preview is not a sample ballot.

Election.org resolves the district stack and federal filing records, then adds an official statewide ballot layer only where a verified adapter exists. California now has current statewide propositions and Supreme Court retention questions; state candidate contests, local measures, county and municipal contests, appellate and Superior Court contests, and official specimen-ballot order remain visibly incomplete. California county and incorporated-place public officials now come from the dated 2026 CalRoster, while selection method and local ballot qualification remain unclaimed. Los Angeles County is the first local election-authority link adapter.
