How it Works
1Receive alerts before bills pass
Choose the issues you care about & get alerts about relevant new bills. IssueVoter summarizes them, and offers pros, cons, and related news for context, keeping you informed year-round.
These opinions truly shape how representatives vote and this tool has enormous potential to create change.Glenn Nye, former US Representative and Director at Datacoup
2Send your opinion directly to your rep
With 1-click, IssueVoter lets your Rep know how you want them to vote on bills, without you having to pick up the phone or mail a letter.
3Track your rep’s votes and bill outcomes
Your private IssueVoter profile tracks how often your elected officials vote your way, keeping politicians accountable and helping you make an informed decision at election time.
Engage with Your Political Process
Track your rep's activity. We tell you how your rep voted, how often your representative agrees with you, and whether or not they’ve attended a vote.
Encourage open discussion. You can share an issue on your favorite social network, without revealing your personal opinion.
Act on issues that don’t make headlines. We don’t only tell you about what is breaking the news; we check for updates every hour to make sure you have the latest information.
Become an informed voter. Using IssueVoter year-round informs you before elections and keeps money's influence out of your opinion. Only re-elect reps who truly represented you.

What People are Saying
This was so easy and I finally felt engaged with our political system — with one click! I loved finding out how frequently I agree/disagree with my representative's votes – It is enlightening and empowering information for our next Congressional election!Marina Tarasova, Head of Medical Business Development at Capsule
Contrary to the caricature, Members of Congress really do care what constituents think. We kept tallies of opinions about issues and constituent sentiment was a central part of the decision making process – it changes minds and changes votes.Travis Moore, Former Legislative Director for Rep. Henry A. Waxman
I love IssueVoter because they ignore the debate of Democrats vs. Republicans and focus on what really matters: issues that affect me, my friends, and my community. IssueVoter helps me understand the real laws on the table and most importantly, voice my opinion.Dan Mascola, Head of B2B Product Marketing at ZOZI
