Is there a way to export representative Vote Center information?

Anonymous Blackbaud User

There is not a way to immediately export Vote Center information into a CSV or reporting file format.

The Vote Center info is a combination of data we receive from DDC, which we cannot give out directly (outside of the product), and data we pull from the US House and US Senate sites which record the official votes of the legislators. In other words, DDC does not supply us with the voting data, we parse the US House and US Senate sites ourselves using Java code built into the product.

If you wish to contact DDC to possibly get some data directly from them, you will need to open a ticket with support.

The US Senate voting records can be found off of this page:

The US House voting records can be found in the Roll Call Votes section of this page:
