Selection and Descriptions of Key Votes Program Project Vote Smart provides easy access to Congressional and State
voting records and maintains a collection of key votes grouped by
issue. Key votes typically include the initial passage of legislation
and final conference report votes versions (the compromised versions
of bills passed in separate House and Senate version). PVS uses a
criteria to select key votes:
1. The vote should be helpful in portraying how a member stands on a particular issue2. The vote should be clear for any person to understand3. The vote has received media attention4. The vote was passed or defeated by a very close margin5. Occasionally, a specific bill is consistently inquired about on the PVS Hotline; the vote is added to the web siteDescriptions of the votes are written by PVS staff and based on
information included in the Congressional Record and or State House
and Senate Journals, with additional background information from
newspapers, magazines, etc. PVS provides summaries for each selected
key vote. The summary does not necessarily reflect the final version
of the bill.
Key votes selected by PVS staff go through an approval process before
web site posting, with political scientists and journalists 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.
