Open California

Welcome to the Open California wiki! We're working to improve accessibility of local campaign finance data to ordinary voters across jurisdictions in California. Currently, campaign finance data is tied up in various forms, only eight percent of these jurisdictions provide this data in machine-readable digital form. For seventy-nine percent of California jurisdictions, forms are only available on request in paper form. We're hoping to change that.

We've submitted a proposal to the 2015 Knight News Challenge which provides more detail about our strategy.
