Days after coming back online, most computer systems that enable database searches and Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings via the Secretary of State’s Web site appear to be down again today.
As of the publication of this posting, the UCC system is offline, as are the databases for campaign contributors and candidates and political committees receiving contributions. There is no note on the home page of the Web site notifying visitors that the systems are down.
Secretary of State Mary Herrera and other officials in her office did not immediately respond to an e-mail requesting an update on the status of work on the systems.
Officials have been working to restore the Web site and systems in the office for about two weeks, since unspecified problems knocked out a new campaign finance and disclosure system that has been under development. Officials haven’t specified how the problems with the new site relate to the office’s problems with its other computer systems and Web site.
Update, 11:10 a.m.
“Upgrades are currently being made and the application will be up again momentarily,” said A.J. Salazar, the secretary of state’s elections director.
Update, 4:30 p.m.
The site that allows UCC online filing is back up, but the systems that allow searches of the UCC and campaign finance databases are still down.
