Use `ElectionAdministration` to provide various information about an election
authority.

> [!NOTE]
> **Note:** This entity is the same for the pre-election data and election results feed types. It isn't used with officeholder feeds.

The [`Election`](https://developers.google.com/civics-data/reference/election) entity references a
[`GpUnit`](https://developers.google.com/civics-data/reference/gp-unit) that defines the scope of the
election. For example, if the scope of the election is a district, then
`Election` references the `GpUnit` entity that's defined for that district.
If the `GpUnit` has the type
[`ReportingUnit`](https://developers.google.com/civics-data/reference/gp-unit#reporting-unit), we recommend
that you include an `ElectionAdministration` entity.
