Questions

Is Federal Election Commission (FEC) down right now?

Something is off: our checks are slower than usual or had a single recent failure.

Federal Election Commission (FEC) not working for me but the status is fine. What now?

If Federal Election Commission (FEC) is not working only for you, it is usually local: try a different browser or the app, switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data, and clear the cache. If lots of people report it here at the same time, the problem is on Federal Election Commission (FEC)'s side.

How does Damn is it down decide Federal Election Commission (FEC)'s status?

Three signals. Anonymous reports are compared with the usual volume for this hour. HTTP checks from Cloudflare have to fail twice in a row before we call our side down. When the vendor publishes a status JSON feed, that incident level is included too.

How often is Federal Election Commission (FEC) checked?

About every five minutes. The cron runs each minute and rotates through the catalog, so a full pass takes a few minutes.
