Organizations choose bills that align with their interests and enter a positive, negative or neutral rating for each bill. Depending on how a legislator votes on a bill, they receive positive, negative or zero points. Then we divide the points possible by the points they received and assign a score for the legislator.

Scorecards make it easy to understand what’s happening in your state and congressional legislatures. They turn complex bills and voting records into simple, easy-to-read summaries — so you can see what’s being proposed and how your legislators are voting.
With over 100,000 bills introduced in state legislatures and over 17,000 bills introduced in congress every year, no one has time to track them all. That’s where scorecards come in. They help voters quickly identify which legislation matters most to them and which lawmakers share their values — making it easier to dig deeper, reach out to legislators, or make informed choices at the ballot box.
We’re constantly rolling out new features to make our scorecards more powerful, flexible and easy to use. Examples include:

BillTrack50 focuses on legislation tracking. So they are a high-quality, optional legislation data source. Their specialty is legislative tracking, so they are your database and backend for all bills and votes data. They include legislation updates 2x per day, alert you daily of legislation changes, and aggregate legislation data from various sources.
We specialize in turning legislation data into legislative scorecards. When you use BillTrack50, we pull in your bills and votes data from their platform and display it on your website. We provide features, like: Find Your Legislator, search and filtering, and official legislator headshots that they don’t provide.
