The CITZN Difference

Why Your Feedback Actually Matters Here

Petitions get ignored. Form emails get filtered. CITZN creates verified constituent feedback that reps actually trust.

Traditional Approaches

Online Petitions

Anyone can sign. Bots inflate numbers. Out-of-district signatures. Reps know this and ignore them.

Form Emails

Mass-generated messages flood inboxes. Staff filters them out. Your voice gets lost in copy-paste noise.

Info Aggregators

Show you data but create no feedback loop. You learn about bills but have no way to influence them.

The CITZN Approach

Verified by Address

Not email signups. Actual address verification ensures only real constituents vote. No bots. No fakes.

Anonymous but Authenticated

Your vote is verified as legitimate but your identity stays private. Reps see numbers, not names.

Aggregated Rep Reports

"847 verified constituents oppose this bill." Data reps can trust because it's verified, not inflated.

The only platform turning citizen votes into verified constituent reports

Common Questions

Everything you need to know

How does verified constituent voting work?

When you sign up, we verify your address to confirm which districts you live in. When you vote on a bill, your vote is counted as a verified constituent—not an anonymous email signup. We aggregate all votes from your district and deliver reports to your representatives: "847 verified constituents oppose SB 123." They see the numbers, not your name. Your vote is authenticated but anonymous.

Do reps actually see the voting results?

Yes. We deliver aggregated reports showing verified constituent sentiment on specific bills. Because the data is address-verified (not just email signups), representatives can trust it's real feedback from actual constituents—not bots, out-of-district activists, or inflated petition numbers.

How does the AI work?

We use Grok AI to analyze every bill. The AI reads the full text, identifies key provisions, and translates complex legal language into plain English summaries. You can also ask follow-up questions directly to the AI about any bill—like having a legal expert on call 24/7.

Is my personal information safe?

Your address is used solely to verify which districts you belong to. We never share your personal information or attach your name to your votes. Representatives see aggregated numbers: "68% of verified constituents oppose this bill." They never see individual voter identities.

Why is verified voting better than petitions?

Petitions can be signed by anyone—bots, out-of-district people, even fake accounts. Reps know this and often ignore them. CITZN verifies every voter is an actual constituent by address. When your rep sees "500 verified constituents," they know it's 500 real people from their district who took the time to weigh in.

Why California only right now?

We're perfecting the verified voting system and rep reporting pipeline with California before expanding. Each state has different legislative systems and representative structures. Once we've proven the model works here, we'll roll out nationwide.

Not in California?

We're expanding to more states soon. Get notified when we launch in your area.
