No dark patterns
Public-interest technology should inform people and support deliberation, not manufacture outrage or shallow engagement.
About POPVOX
Building the public layer for modern lawmaking.
POPVOX helps people and institutions understand what is happening in government, who is involved, and how public policy moves from idea to action.
Founded in 2010
Civic technology with institutional memory.
POPVOX began as a platform for people to weigh in on legislation and create a transparent public record for lawmakers. The goal was practical and ambitious: make participation more meaningful, more accountable, and more useful to the policymaking process.
Rebuilt for now
Legislative intelligence for the AI era.
The next POPVOX connects bills, members, committees, hearings, witnesses, organizations, documents, and legislative histories into a public experience designed for discovery, trust, and context.
What guides us
A different approach to civic infrastructure.
No selling civic trust
POPVOX is not built on ads, data brokerage, or incentives that distort public participation.
Nonpartisan by design
Legislative information should be legible across ideology, institution, geography, and role.
Useful to the process
We design for people outside government and for the staff, lawmakers, committees, and institutions doing the work inside it.
