The Elections API returns a unique office type ID (up to three letters)
for every race in the Elections response (officeID
in JSON; OfficeID in XML). Office type IDs
are unique at the national level (across all states).
In the table below, the office type name used in most states (a standardized
name) is listed first for each office type ID. If an office type name
in a state differs from the standardized name, the state-specific name
is followed by the state abbreviation in parentheses.
If available, the state-specific office type name
is returned in the Elections response (officeName
in JSON; OfficeName in XML); otherwise, the standardized
name is returned.
