How it works

How Vote Impact works

Three steps, one track — narrow the feed to where you live, read the official record, then read a non-partisan plain-language analysis of what it does.

Find your bills

Enter your location once, or just browse by state. We narrow hundreds of thousands of bills down to the federal and state legislation that actually touches where you live.

What you get

Everything you need to follow legislation

Six things, stated once each — what a bill says, who it reaches, where it stands, and where every word of it came from.

Plain-English summaries

Every bill explained in normal language, with the official text one click away.

Non-partisan impact scores

Risk, impact and civic-fit scores derived from the bill’s text — never from party labels.

See how scores are calculated

Your district, your bills

Set your location to filter by your congressional and state legislative districts, and see your own representatives.

Real-time bill status

Follow every bill from introduction to committee to floor votes to the governor’s or president’s desk, updated as official records change.

Ask anything, with sources

Ask questions about any bill and get short, clear answers grounded in the bill text — every answer cites where it came from.

Does California's AB 3150 change anything for my house?

Yes — brush-clearing rules now apply to homeowners, and hazard maps are refreshed every 5 years.

Is my street on one of those maps?

You're in a moderate hazard zone. AB 3150 is on your watchlist now.
