How they voted.
For us.

Enter your home address and see how your own legislators voted, in Congress and in your state house. Every vote is linked to its official source. No spin. No scorecards. Just the record.

Find my legislators

We need a street address, not just a ZIP code, because district lines often split a single ZIP.

Your address is not saved by this site. It is sent once to the U.S. Census Bureau’s address service to find your districts. Only the district numbers are kept, in your own browser, so you don’t have to look them up again.
How this works

The nonpartisan rules,
in plain sight

If we ever break one of these, the source link right next to the claim lets you catch it.

RULE 01

Every fact links to its source

Each vote sits next to a link to the Clerk of the House, Senate.gov, or the state record. Bill titles and summaries link to Congress.gov or the state legislature.

RULE 02

Plain verbs only

“Voted Yes”, “Voted No”, “Did not vote”. Never “blocked”, “killed” or “defended”. The words describe the roll call, not a motive.

RULE 03

Flags follow published rules

Loading the thresholds…

RULE 04

Identical treatment

Every member gets the same layout, the same wording and the same figures. Party is a small label, never a color.

RULE 05

Official words first

Bill titles and summaries are the official ones (Congressional Research Service for federal bills; the state’s bill description for state bills). Nothing on this site is written by AI.

RULE 06

Your address isn’t stored

The address goes once to the U.S. Census Bureau’s geocoder to find your districts. This site keeps no address, no voter file, and no record of who looked up whom.

RULE 07

What the numbers mean

Votes attended: share of recorded floor votes where they voted Yes, No or Present. Voted with party majority: of their Yes/No votes, the share that matched how most of their own party voted. Ties, Present votes and independents are not counted.

RULE 08

Which votes are shown first

By default you see passage votes, veto votes and nominations. Tick “Include amendments, cloture & procedural votes” to see every recorded roll call.
