How to Cast a Shadow Vote on Bills Before Congress

You can cast a shadow vote on active bills before the U.S. Congress using Make Our Government Accountable (MOGA). Shadow voting allows registered citizens to review pending federal legislation, register their verified support or opposition prior to the official roll call, and compare their collective district vote directly against how their elected representative ultimately votes.

Four simple steps from legislation tracking to representative accountability.

01

Track Pending Federal Legislation

02

Verify Voter Registration
