We currently have an outage for the C6, L5 and LMC applications, affecting filing of independent expenditure reports, filing by public agencies and filing reports of last-minute contributions. Additionally, the issue affects the viewing of the following: C6, L5 and LMC reports, and any C3/C4 reports which were filed prior to March 15, 2022.

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.
All PDC phones were reporting as out-of-service because of maintenance being performed by the WaTech (the state centralized IT services organization). Service was restored on 7/18 before 5 PM.
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.
A problem with Secure Access Washington's authentication service is causing outages for users of ORCA, campaign registration and the F-1 financial affairs filing systems. The problem has been reported to SAW. The PDC does not yet have an estimate for restoration of service.
