state¶
The State object includes state-wide election information. The ID attribute is recommended to be the state’s FIPS code, along with the prefix “st”.
Tag | Data Type | Required? | Repeats? | Description | Error Handling |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
election_administration_id | xs:IDREF |
Optional | Single | Links to the state’s election administration object. | If the field is invalid or not present, then the implementation is required to ignore it. |
external_identifiers | external_identifiers | Optional | Single | Other identifier for the state that relates to another dataset (e.g. `OCD-ID`_). | If the element is invalid or not present, then the implementation is required to ignore it. |
name | xs:string |
Required | Single | Specifiers the name of a state, such as Alabama. | If the field is invalid, then the
implementation is required to ignore the
State element containing it. |
polling_location_ids | xs:IDREFS |
Optional | Single | Specifies a link to the state’s polling locations. If early vote centers or ballot drop locations are state-wide (e.g., anyone in the state can use them), they can be specified here, but you are encouraged to only use the precinct element. | If the field is invalid or not present, then the implementation is required to ignore it. |
