An independent, non-government record of how Congress votes Here’s how we know

Congress Vote Tracker is a private, independent project. It is not affiliated with the U.S. government, Congress, or any agency, and it does not speak for them. Every vote count is drawn from official public records (Congress.gov, the House Clerk, and Senate.gov) and linked back to the source on every page.

What it does

Congress Vote Tracker turns official congressional roll-call records into a searchable, citable civic resource: every House and Senate vote of the 119th Congress, how each of the 535 members voted, and a scorecard for every sitting member. It does not speak for Congress. Every vote count links back to the official source.

Services and features

  • Vote Records: every tracked House and Senate roll-call vote, each linked to the official roll-call page.
  • Roll Calls, Member by Member: a page per vote at /votes/<chamber>-<roll>.html listing how every member of the chamber voted. Filter state is carried in the URL (?party=&state=&pos=&q=), so a filtered view is directly citable.
  • Member voting records: a page per member at /votes/member-<slug>.html listing every tracked roll call and that member's position on each.
  • Bill nicknames: bills are identified by their recognisable name (for example “SEED Act”) alongside the bill number, resolved from govinfo BILLSTATUS title data. Measures with no short or popular title are identified by number only.
  • Scorecards: party loyalty, attendance, and bipartisanship scores for every member of Congress.
  • Bills: tracked bills with summaries and vote outcomes.
  • States: per-state delegation pages.
  • Analysis: plain-English vote breakdowns, weekly recaps, and data features (clearly labeled [ANALYSIS] when editorial).
  • Individual legislator profile pages under /legislators/.

Methodology

  • Vote and bill data: Congress.gov and the Congress.gov API, the Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House, and Senate.gov, updated automatically each day.
  • Historical records and ideology scores: GovTrack. Campaign finance data: OpenSecrets.
  • Every voting data point links to the source roll-call page; every bill reference links to the official bill text.
  • Scorecard formulas (party loyalty, attendance, crossings) are stated on How we score. Scores use all recorded votes in the window, not a curated subset.
  • Vote breakdowns and bill summaries are neutral data journalism; opinion pieces are explicitly labeled [ANALYSIS].
