Decode America · an independent legislative transparency project
Not ads. Not spin. Every recorded vote on the floor of the U.S. House and Senate, straight from the two chambers' own published records, with a link to the file it came from.
Both chambers, every member · Free, no account, no scores or gradesEvery measure that got a recorded vote or became law — what it does in plain English (the Congressional Research Service's own summary), who sponsored it, its status, and every roll call on it in either chamber.
Browse the bills →Every representative, with how many times they voted yea, nay, present or did not vote. Sort by any column; type a name or state to filter.
Browse the House →All one hundred senators, plus anyone who held a seat during this Congress, with the same counts.
Browse the Senate →Every recorded vote in date order — what was voted on, who sponsored it, whether it became law, the tally, and a link to the chamber's own record.
House roll calls →Every Congress on the site, with counts recomputed from the source files on each build. A Congress is listed only when both chambers are on file.

House votes are read from the roll-call files published by the Office of the Clerk of the House (clerk.house.gov). Senate votes are read from the roll-call files published by the Secretary of the Senate (senate.gov). Bill titles, sponsors and status come from the Government Publishing Office's bill-status records (govinfo.gov). Who each member is — name, party, state, district — comes from the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress. Every count on this site is recomputed from those files and checked two independent ways before it is published.
A few things to know about how Congress records votes. The House sometimes records a vote as “Aye/No” rather than “Yea/Nay”; both are shown here as Yea and Nay. When the House elects its Speaker, members vote for a person by name rather than yea or nay. The Vice President votes in the Senate only to break a tie, and is shown in the tally when that happens. Many Senate votes are on nominations or on whether to end debate (“cloture”) rather than on a bill; those are shown with plain-language labels and the threshold each one needed.
