Original message:

The Public Disclosure Commission wants to hear from users of the agency's campaign registration (C-1 and C-1pc) systems about what they want to see in a replacement. 

An initial stakeholder meeting Dec. 18 at 10 a.m. will offer an overview of the agency's project to develop a new candidate and political committee registration application. The goal is to deliver a more seamless and functional experience for filers and useful information for the public. 

The Washington Public Disclosure Commission's online electronic filing systems were unavailable for all filings except lobbyist and lobbyist employer reporting. The problem began on 12/8/2018 at 4:55 AM. The outage appears to be the result of a failed power circuit or battery backup on the circuit. Systems have been moved to an alternate power source while the issue is investigated. Staff were notified of the outage and began work ~7 AM and systems were available again at 8:05 AM. In the last few months, the agency has been moving systems to more reliable infrastructure.

UPDATE:

The outage was resolved at approximately 4:45 a.m. This outage affected all electronic filing except Lobbyist and Lobbyist Employers.
