Due to an issue with third-party cloud services, some users of the Financial Affairs (F-1) system, campaign registration and Online Reporting of Campaign Activity (ORCA) may have experienced connectivity issues or outages between 10 p.m. June 7 and 4 a.m. June 8. The issue has been resolved and all systems are operating as expected.

The server that processes ORCA submissions experienced some performance issues that may have resulted in users submitting duplicate filings or receiving an error. Please contact the PDC at pdc@pdc.wa.gov if you believe you have duplicate reports so that we can work with you to delete the duplicate.
UPDATE: The issue has now been resolved.
A Secure Access Washington authentication issue is blocking access to the PDC's Financial Affairs (F-1), Campaign Registration (C-1 and C-1pc), and ORCA systems. We are investigating and will update as soon as we know more.
A bug in the version of ORCA released July 21 may have caused a data error that prevented campaigns from filing accurate reports. The ORCA system can identify affected campaigns and will give them the option of fixing the data loss the next time they open ORCA. Those campaigns may need to amend any reports filed between July 21 and July 29. The PDC will be doing additional outreach to affected campaigns.
The Commission issued an order concerning a non-profit organization's plan to provide pro bono legal services to a person who plans to appeal a ruling in a campaign finance court case.
