About Elect-Smart

Elect-Smart is a nonpartisan civic accountability platform that helps voters see how their elected representatives actually vote compared to what they promised on the campaign trail. Too often, politicians make bold pledges during an election and quietly vote the opposite way once in office. Elect-Smart closes that gap by pulling real legislative voting records, matching them against campaign promises, and measuring how closely each official aligns with the constituents they represent.

The app covers members of the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, the President, and the Vice President, alongside declared and expected candidates for those offices. For every official you can review a clear accountability score built from promise fulfillment, constituent alignment, attendance, and bipartisanship. You can compare incumbents and challengers side by side, save candidates to a personal ballot list, and dig into the individual roll-call votes that shaped each score — so your decisions at the ballot box are grounded in records, not rhetoric.

Elect-Smart is built for voters of every political stripe who want facts before they vote. Whether you are researching your own representative, comparing candidates in a competitive race, or simply trying to understand where officials stand on the issues that matter to you, Elect-Smart gives you a transparent, source-backed view of the record. The platform is developed by the Elect-Smart team using public congressional data and AI-assisted research, and it is continuously improved to keep officials and candidates current.
