A key aspect of the Governor’s campaign finance reform initiative is to make candidates’ financial reports available online. Allowing for greater transparency and the ability for the public to have easier access. The Pennsylvania Department of State, Campaign Finance Office is responsible for these campaign contributions and expenditure filings.
Campaign finance reports submitted in paper require document data extraction. Having editable data in a structured format is necessary to upload into the State’s database for inclusion online. It’s crucial that the campaign filings be accurately entered and that data capture procedures conform to all the parameters surrounding finance report submissions.
The state needed an experienced vendor who could perform the data capture and extraction of the filings within 72 hours; error free. This material is sensitive and the vendor needed to understand all the elements of campaign finance reports.
