2011 Edition: VoteCount is a professional government affairs app that allows the user to record and instantly tally lawmakers’ positions on legislation. Unlike online bill tracking services that allow a subscriber to follow a bill through the legislative process, VoteCount gives government affairs professionals a tool to anticipate and influence legislative outcomes before they occur. Immediate access to up-to-date vote counts allows the user to efficiently and effectively manage the count so that he or she can continuously update legislative strategy and prioritize legislative contacts to ensure success. Throw away those paper vote count sheets that require you to add up every Yes or No vote each time you want to determine the vote count on a particular bill.

AVAILABLE FOR CONGRESS AND ALL 50 STATES. Purchase includes 1 State or Congress. Additional States/Congress are available on your device by in-app purchase.

DESIGNED BY A VETERAN LOBBYIST:
“My clients expect accurate vote counts. VoteCount provides me that efficient influence management tool.” Shawn Miller, Miller Public Affairs in Oregon

FUNCTIONALITY:
VoteCount allows you to systematically track lawmakers’ votes in five categories: Yes, Leaning Yes, Leaning No, No, and Undecided. Why not just a simple Yes and No? Because every professional lobbyist knows that answers from lawmakers are not always that simple. Just think if you had a nickel for every time you heard “I should be there” or “I’m leaning your way but I’m not quite there.” These are not responses that you can count as solid Yes or No votes. By recording a legislator’s vote into the Leaning Yes or Leaning No category, you have a reminder to revisit that legislator before the vote and attempt to lock them into a Yes or No. Lastly, knowing the exact number of undecided lawmakers is important in focusing your contact plan before the vote.

Every bill has three pages:
(1) House or Assembly members (except for Nebraska)
(2) Senate members
(3) Executive, which includes Governor and Lt. Governor (except States with no Lt. Governor) or U.S. President and Vice President

FILTERS:
• All Members: view all lawmakers in the House/Assembly and Senate, as well as the Executive(s).
