Selection and Descriptions of Key Votes
Project Vote Smart provides easy access to Congressional and state legislator voting records and maintains a collection of key votes grouped by issue. PVS uses the following criteria to select key votes:
- The vote should be helpful in portraying how a Legislator stands on a particular issue
- The vote should be clear for any person to understand
- The vote has received national media attention
- The vote was passed or defeated by a very close margin
- Occasionally, a specific bill is consistently inquired about on the PVS Hotline; the vote is added to the web site
Descriptions of the votes are written by PVS staff and based on information included in the Legislative Record, with additional background information from newspapers, magazines, etc.
Key votes selected by PVS staff go through an approval process before web site posting, with political scientists of opposing viewpoints reviewing both the selection and the content. This is to ensure clarity, relevance, nonpartisanship and accuracy. After the approval process is completed, the votes are ready to go into the database and subsequently on-line.
