Want to vote but not sure who to vote for? Try us.

Type your address. We'll show you who's on your ballot and how the ones already in Congress actually voted. Every vote has a bill number you can check yourself.

Not a news site. Not picking a team. Just the public roll call, with a hippo on it.

The pond

What the pond pictures mean

No change on the file, and they're a Fat Hippo. Change and explain, and they're a Hippo. Change and go silent, and the crickets come. Not enough votes yet, and it's a Thin Hippo.

  • Pond picture: HippoCricket. A hippo standing in a muddy pond, covered in red crickets.

    HippoCricket

    Changed and went silent

  • Pond picture: Hippo. A hippo in a clear, healthy pond.

    Changed but explained why

  • Pond picture: Fat Hippo. A fat hippo across the whole pond. Never changed.

    Never changed

  • Thin Hippo: no votes yet

    Thin Hippo

    No votes yet

Every party gets the same pond and the same rules. We don't judge whether a reason is good or bad, only whether they gave one for the change. A Thin Hippo means no votes yet: not enough sourced votes to put a full hippo in the pond.

See who's on your ballot

🔒 We use your address only to find your district (it goes to the U.S. Census Bureau's lookup). We don't save it, and we won't send you anything. No signup, no emails, no spam. Ever.

Or try a sample address:

Why the full address? One ZIP can cover more than one district, so ZIP alone can give the wrong ballot.

How it works

Three steps, no homework

  1. 1. We pull the official votes.

    Every roll-call vote from the House and Senate clerks. Public record, nothing made up.

  2. 2. We check whether they stuck with it.

    Same issue, same kind of bill. Did they hold steady, change and explain why, or change without a word?

  3. 3. You get a pond and the votes behind it.

    Each vote links to its bill so you can check our work. Donor money is shown separately and never changes the pond.

Money, kept separate

Who funds them

Each profile shows donor money (traditional PAC contributions) next to the votes so you can see both in one place. Money never changes the pond, and we don't claim one caused the other. See the PAC table →
