Methodology

How We Source Data

Who's Running is a neutral public directory built from official election records. Candidate and race pages are source-backed public records, not endorsements, recommendations, rankings, or candidate-submitted profiles.

Source Priority

County-level races use county Supervisor of Elections records as the primary source when a county connector is available. Florida Division of Elections records are used for state and federal races, and as a county fallback only when county-level data is unavailable.

What Gets Normalized

Names, offices, districts, parties, statuses, counties, and race groupings are normalized for public display. Raw source values, source URLs, import timestamps, and source snapshots are preserved internally so records can be audited back to their source.

Neutral presentation

Search ordering and race grouping are not changed by payments, sponsorships, candidate relationships, or political preference.

Public-record boundaries

Public pages and APIs do not publish suppressed or private address data, and records are limited to source-backed election information.

Candidate filing separation

A candidate profile can have multiple filings over time, but each filing keeps its own office, source, status, and attribution.

Limitations

Official records can change, lag, or contain corrections. Who's Running should be treated as a directory and monitoring tool, not as the legal filing authority for any race. When a public page conflicts with an official election source, the official source controls.

Corrections

Correction reports should include the candidate or race, the county or office, the source link, and the specific field that appears wrong. Reports are reviewed against official public records before public data is changed.
