About MyPolity

MyPolity is a civic operating system for the United States. It makes the information you need to participate in your government — your representatives, upcoming elections, legislation, ballot measures, and civics fundamentals — easy to find and understand.

Why it exists

Interacting with the government today is a bad experience. Information is fragmented across thousands of websites, representatives are invisible to the people they serve, and civic literacy is declining. None of this is inevitable. It's a design problem, and it's solvable.

MyPolity connects citizens directly to their government — without the middlemen who currently sit between Americans and the information they're entitled to.

Our principles

  • Non-partisanEvery party and candidate gets a fair, well-written presentation. No editorial lean.
  • Primary sourcesData links directly to official government sources — Congress.gov, state Secretaries of State, the FEC. We are not the source; they are.
  • No data salesWe do not sell user data. Civic identity is a trust relationship, and we treat it that way.
  • Citizen-firstWe partner with public institutions, but our loyalty is to the people using the product — not to the officials in it.

Built by CivicOS
