How do I find candidates with criminal cases quickly?

Open the Candidates page, use snapshot filters for criminal-case buckets, then open individual profiles for affidavit-linked details.

Does criminal-case data include pending and convicted cases?

Yes. Criminal-case disclosures come from election affidavit records and can include pending and convicted cases as declared.

How should this data be interpreted responsibly?

Use criminal-case counts alongside vote share, education, and constituency context. Counts alone do not summarize candidate quality.
