lawyers wrote the rules running your life. pollsee turns your idea into a real bill — signed by verified neighbors, sent to your council member.
TCtechcrunch startup battlefield 200 →
verified residents write real legislation here because they want something changed — not because a panel paid them to answer. everyone else rents a sample. that difference is the whole company.
type what's broken in plain english. pollsee uses current legislation to create a properly formatted bill — summary, feasibility score, cost impact, stakeholders, implementation plan. nothing for you to learn. nothing for staffers to dismiss.

we forecast which bills survive, and we're right about 86% of the time. not because we bought a panel — because people who actually live in the district tell us where they stand, on bills they can already see the odds on.
every bill moving through your council and statehouse, in plain english, with what it does to you — and the odds it passes right there on the card.
your position joins the bloc you belong to. it never leaves as you — it leaves as "district 26," which is the only unit anyone outside ever sees.
the better we can read your district, the better the odds on your next card — and the harder it is for your council member to claim they didn't know.
you are never the product. your record is yours — private by default, and yours to read. nothing leaves at the level of a person: no name, no position, no record is ever sold, surfaced, or identifiable in anything we publish. districts go out. people don't.
browse proposals, vote, track your reps, follow elections — and draft and send your own proposal. all of it, free. writing the law that governs you should not have a price tag on it.
for everyone, all of it.
for candidates & orgs.
