Question about data processing

[fec-issues-bot]

What were you trying to do and how can we improve it?

I was trying to track donations to candidates, but it seems the data on this website is over 30 days old. What's the hold up?

General feedback?

Needs a little work, but good overall. I'd love to help improve it.

I'm a senior software engineer experienced in large-scale data-heavy projects, including visualization. A few Sankey charts would be lovely here.

Please see committee reporting dates and deadlines.

It takes the FEC up to 30:days after receipt to process transaction-level data. You can access data more quickly using the raw data features.
