This is a guide for the standardization of office names within OpenElections data. In general, the aim is for simple, descriptive titles.
- How to refer to state legislative chambers?
- How to refer to similar-sounding state offices (Comptroller vs. Controller)?
- Do we consolidate statewide offices with similar purpose but different names (Education Commissioner vs. State Superintendent)?
