We build the tools legislatures need to keep pace with the world they govern.
Founded in 2010
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
The next POPVOX connects bills, members, committees, hearings, witnesses, organizations, documents, and legislative histories into a public experience designed for discovery, trust, and context.
Local civic intelligence
LocAlmanac is a city-scoped civic information platform that turns local public information into structured, searchable records.
It ingests articles, calendars, meetings, event feeds, and other public sources; preserves provenance; and supports citation-backed search and Q&A so residents, reporters, advocates, and local officials can understand what is happening in their community.
Two organizations, one mission
Separate organizations. Shared commitment to better civic infrastructure.
POPVOX Inc. builds public-facing civic intelligence products, including POPVOX.com and tools for lawmakers, staff, organizations, and institutions.
POPVOX Foundation supports nonprofit civic infrastructure, research, and capacity-building work.
