We Acknowledge and Correct Errors
Accuracy is central to our mission, and acknowledging mistakes is part of our promise to readers. When a factual error is identified — whether found by our own review or reported by a reader — we correct it as promptly as practical.
What Counts as a Correction
- Factual errors: a misstated statute, date, deadline, dollar amount, office, or bill status. These are corrected, and where the error was significant, the page notes that it has been updated.
- Outdated information: content overtaken by a change in law, procedure, or an official website. These updates are part of our normal continual review cycle.
- Broken or changed links: especially county and government links, which change often. These are repaired on an ongoing basis.
- Clarity fixes: rewording that does not change meaning is routine editing, not a correction.
How to Report an Error
Use our Contact & Reporting page and include the page URL, the statement in question, and — if you have it — the official source showing the correct information. Reports pointing to a primary source are the fastest to act on.
Legislative and County Content
Bill statuses, effective dates, and county office details are reviewed against the official record on an ongoing basis. Where a secondary detail is still being confirmed against a primary source, our methodology pages say so plainly rather than presenting it as settled.
