How the Concept Works

A live version would need verified sources and a published scoring method.

01

Find Source Records

A live version would need official records for each bill and vote before making claims about a representative.

02

Explain Each Score

A scoring method would need clear criteria, source links and reasons readers can check. The examples here do not supply that evidence.

03

Show the Limits

The percentages in this demo illustrate the design. They are not calculated from real voting records.

04

Check Before Using

Do not use these sample scores to judge a real person or make a voting decision. Consult official records and other reliable sources.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these real politicians and voting records?

No. The people, bills, scores, dates and vote counts are fictional examples. They do not represent any real person’s voting record.

Is CivicScore a live scoring service?

No. This page is a concept demo. It does not provide a current scoring service or a verified legislative dataset.

How often are the scores updated?

There is no live update schedule. The scores are fixed examples that show how the design could work.

What would a live version need?

It would need verified legislative sources, clear scoring criteria and published reasons readers can check. Those decisions have not been made.
