District alignment compares this member’s votes with the majority position of verified users in the district. District alignment needs ten comparable bills, each with enough verified constituent votes. Your personal score starts with one comparable bill. Only qualifying yes/no votes in the scored service period count. Procedural votes stay in the record but do not count toward either alignment score. How scoring works
