direct democracy
Chicago's civic voice: a citywide big board of the people's concerns, ward-level votes, your whole ballot, and AMAs where the community decides whether officials actually answered.
The Big Board
Raise the issues that matter and rate how much each one matters, from 1 to 5, to rank what the whole city cares about. Every result shows all users and verified residents side by side.
Your Ward
Browse any of the 50 wards. Set your home ward, or verify once as a resident so your votes count in your ward's verified tallies and your alderman's grade.
Real Answers
Ask officials anything. The community, never the politician, judges whether a response answered the question, and every official carries a public report card.
Your Ballot
Enter your address once to see the races on your ballot first, from Congress to the school board, with your early voting site and how to vote. Covers November 3, 2026 and February 23, 2027.
City Council
Upcoming meetings with their public comment deadlines, and the Council votes that split, with how each alderman voted, as the City Clerk records them.
Anonymous by Design
Identity verification is handled by a third party; the app keeps only whether you're verified, your ward, and your district numbers. Your real name is never shown.
