Accountability
Corrections policy
Accuracy matters. If information changes, new legislation passes, a court ruling changes existing law, or an error is discovered, the article is updated with a visible correction or revision date.
How corrections work
01Report
Anyone may report an error. Send the page, the statement in question, and the source you believe is correct.
02Review
We check the claim against the primary source — the statute, rule, opinion, or dataset it came from.
03Correct
If the statement is wrong, it is corrected promptly and a correction note is added at the foot of the page.
04Record
Substantive changes carry a visible revision date so readers can see when the page last changed and why.
What counts as a correction
- A misstatement of law, procedure, or a court holding.
- A statistic reported with the wrong figure, period, or jurisdiction.
- A source attributed incorrectly or labeled with the wrong source type.
- A summary that materially misrepresents the underlying publication.
Routine editing — typography, formatting, or clarity — is not marked as a correction. Changes in the underlying law are marked as revisions with the effective date.
Report an inaccuracy
We would rather be corrected than be wrong in public. Send the page address, the sentence at issue, and the primary source you believe governs.
