Election.org does not always answer
Over the last week it answered 25.0% of our checks. We check every 15 minutes, so you hear about the next outage within the hour — not from your users.

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on.
If a tool disappears, we record the date.
election
get_election_calendar
Return the published 2026 federal general election date and congressional primary/runoff schedule, optionally filtered to a state's public election jurisdiction. Source dates and tentative/changeable status are included. Does not include every local election, registration deadline or polling location; confirm actionable dates with the state's election authority.
get_election_results
Retrieve source-backed U.S. House and Senate results for an explicitly requested year. The archive currently covers 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024. Other years return an unsupported-year error, never substituted historical results. Includes votes, sources, record links and calculation caveats. Not live returns, projections or presidential results.
campaign
get_campaign_finance
Retrieve published 2026 federal campaign receipts, spending, cash, debts, linked committees and separately labeled outside-spending totals for an FEC candidate ID. Returns reporting periods, sources and coverage limits. Campaign balances are not a candidate's personal net worth. Contributions do not establish influence or wrongdoing. Missing financial summaries remain null.
candidates
search_candidates
Search Election.org's 2026 FEC candidate filings by public name or FEC ID, state, office, or district. Returns party, filing status, available campaign totals, source dates and record links. FEC records stay in data.records. A separately sourced data.state_authority_records list currently adds Mississippi federal qualifying entries, including candidates with no matched FEC ID. Check both collections; neither proves final ballot certification or complete nationwide/local coverage. Do not request federal finance for a null FEC ID. Federal filings are ordered by reported receipts, not an endorsement. No party is excluded.
governments
search_governments
Search named cities, counties, school systems and special districts in Election.org's Census-based public-body directory. Returns source-backed institution records, available office contacts and enriched coverage, with record links. Similar names can refer to different jurisdictions. Directory inclusion does not establish current officials or exact service boundaries. Does not locate a user's home or provide private personal contacts.
offices
search_offices
Search permanent public offices and their sourced holders by official name, office title, or jurisdiction. Federal, state, executive and selected local coverage is included; local coverage is incomplete and source verification dates must be retained. Not an address-to-representative lookup. A missing holder is not proof of a vacancy.

Election.org — questions
Answers built from our own checks of this server.
What can Election.org do?
It exposes 6 tools, read directly from the server on our last check. Among them: get_campaign_finance, get_election_calendar, get_election_results, search_candidates, search_governments, search_offices. The full list with descriptions is on this page — we take it from the server itself via tools/list, not from a README.
How MCP servers expose tools in the first place →
Is Election.org working right now?
We send a real MCP handshake every 15 minutes. Over the last 24 hours 13 of 52 checks got a reply (25.0%), average response time 1446 ms. The bar chart above shows every period we have measured.
The registry lists Election.org as active — why does it not respond?
The official MCP registry stores what the author submitted; it does not verify that the server still runs. We check the endpoint ourselves, and this one does not answer. Catalogues that copy the registry without checking will show it as working.
How do I connect Election.org?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It is a remote server, so there is nothing to install — the client connects to the address.
Does Election.org need an API key?
No. Election.org completed a full MCP handshake with us as an anonymous client and listed its tools without asking for anything. All 6 of them are readable on this page. This is what we observed, not what the docs claim.
How fast is Election.org?
It answers our handshake in 1446 ms on average, which is faster than 1% of all working MCP servers we measure. That is on the slow side — worth knowing if the tool sits inside an interactive loop. The comparison comes from our own checks across the whole registry, every 15 minutes.
