About VotingDistricts.com

We're on a mission to strengthen democracy by making voting district information accessible, accurate, and actionable for every American citizen.

Our Mission

Empower Citizens

Provide every American with easy access to their voting district information and elected representatives.

Increase Transparency

Make complex electoral data understandable and accessible through intuitive visualizations and tools.

Foster Engagement

Encourage civic participation by removing barriers to finding voting information and understanding districts.

Our Story

VotingDistricts.com was born from a simple frustration: finding accurate, up-to-date information about congressional districts shouldn't be difficult. In 2020, our founder Sarah Johnson, a former election official, recognized that citizens deserved better access to the electoral information that affects their daily lives.

What started as a weekend project to help friends find their representatives has grown into the most comprehensive voting district platform in the United States. We've served millions of citizens, supported hundreds of researchers, and partnered with civic organizations nationwide.

Today, we continue to innovate and expand our services, always guided by our core belief that democracy works best when citizens have the information they need to participate effectively.
