How to correct an error

This page is generated mechanically from municipalities.csv / races.csv / candidates.csv; it is not hand-edited. If anything above is wrong, out of date, or missing:

Check the candidate's own current public campaign site or social account, and the municipality's own live candidate list (linked above) — those are the primary sources this page draws from.
Corrections should point to a public, verifiable source (a candidate's own site, a clerk record, an official results document) — unsourced claims about any candidate are not taken.
This page should be regenerated from the source CSVs after any correction, not edited in place.

This page’s figures come from this project’s own published election dataset, regenerated from the source CSVs on each run.
