Information About the Independent/Political PAC Summary Page Download

The Bureau of Elections is pleased to provide the CFR Independent/Political PAC Summary Page Download file.  The file contains all of the Summary Page data in our system in one convenient download.  The download is updated each day with new committee summary page data.  The file is in a comma separated value (CSV) format and can be easily up-loaded into  programs such as Microsoft Excel or Access.

The data consists of all of the electronically filed summary page data including amendments.  It also includes original paper reports that have been filed and key entered.  While all of the electronically filed data is available, not all of the data for the paper reports is represented in the file.  As reports are keyed entered, they are added to the file.
