Nonpartisan by design
No endorsements. No party scorecards. The same standards apply to every record and every representative.
Why PurpleRollCall
Democracy asks us
to pay attention.
PurpleRollCall exists to make that easier. We believe people should be able to see how their representatives vote without needing a policy degree, a party guide, or hours to decode the public record.
Our mission is to make voting records clear, accessible, and useful—so more people can follow the decisions made in their name.
Why purple?
Because the record belongs to everyone.
Purple sits beyond the usual red-versus-blue frame. It reflects a simple promise: start with the public record, present it fairly, and trust people to reach their own conclusions.
What guides us
Built for curiosity.
Grounded in facts.
A useful civic tool should make complexity manageable without flattening it into a score or slogan.
Context over outrage
A vote means more when you can see the measure, the timing, the outcome, and the surrounding history.
Accessible to everyone
Clear language, thoughtful design, and multiple ways to explore help more people use public information.
