direct democracy

Chicago's civic voice: a citywide big board of the people's concerns, ward-level votes, and AMAs where the community decides whether officials actually answered.

The Big Board

Raise the issues that matter and vote them by priority - critical to low - to rank what the whole city cares about. Every result shows the general vote and the verified vote side by side.

Your Ward

Browse any of the 50 wards. Verify once as a resident and your votes count in your ward's verified tallies, including your alderman's ballot questions.

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.

Anonymous by Design

Identity verification is handled by a third party; the app only ever knows verified yes/no and your ward. Your real name is never shown.
