This Pennsylvania draft covers the one candidate contest decided by all voters statewide and documents the official-record status of statewide questions and judicial contests as of October 1.

Included

Published now

All 4 statewide Governor and Lieutenant Governor party tickets in the official 2026 General Election candidate database
All 8 statewide candidate names and exact candidate identifiers preserved in ticket notes
A separate write-in option and an explicit zero count for named statewide write-ins
Three exact Cycle 4 state campaign finance records from the official 2026 export
One explicit state-finance gap where no exact Cycle 4 Krawchuk record was verified
An explicit federal-finance nonapplicability note because the sole statewide contest is a state office
Registration, on-demand mail ballot voting, mail and absentee ballot, identification, provisional-ballot, return, and Election Day rules
An explicit zero statewide-question count from the official Referendum Listing
An explicit zero statewide judicial election and retention count from the official candidate and Retention listings

Not included

Outside this release

U.S. House district contests and federal candidate finance
General Assembly, county, municipal, school, judicial district, and other local contests and questions
Unnamed write-in choices, because Pennsylvania does not require write-in candidates to file declarations for votes to count
Separate Lieutenant Governor finance committees, to avoid combining non-comparable records with governor-side ticket records
Independent expenditures and outside spending beyond candidate and authorized committee filings
Transaction-level donor and expenditure analysis

Known finance limits

1 finance summary unavailable

Recheck final county ballot notices and finance amendments

Recheck the Department of State candidate, referendum, and retention listings after county boards publish notices by October 29. Confirm final ticket layout, any named ballot annotations, and any amended or newly filed Cycle 4 reports before promoting this draft to live.

Dataset comparison: Finance cards use one governor-side report per ticket and do not combine Lieutenant Governor committees. The export has no directly reported ending-cash field. The missing Krawchuk report is not zero, and Dastra's source fields do not reconcile to an implied cash balance.
