Frequently Asked Questions
Is this free?
Yes. No account, no paywall, no fees. Always free.
Where does the data come from?
All data comes from official federal government sources — the authoritative record for congressional activity.
Is this tool biased?
No. We show facts only — attendance rates, bill counts, committee memberships. We do not score, rank, or rate members based on their votes, party, or policy positions.
Why isn't a former member showing up?
We currently show only current members of Congress. Former members are not included.
How often is the data updated?
Data is refreshed periodically as new legislative activity is recorded.
What does voting attendance mean?
The percentage of recorded House or Senate votes the member participated in. This is a factual measure of participation, not an endorsement of any particular vote.
Do you store my searches?
