City Launches Council Voting Record Database

The City of Austin City Clerk's Office recently launched the Council Voting History Page, an online tool that allows the public to access the mayor and council’s voting history.  

Using this online utility, anyone can quickly search and view how each elected official has voted on every council item during council meetings from 2023 forward. Users can filter the voting history by council member, date of meeting, vote cast, agenda item and more. 

Aligning with the City of Austin's goal of transparency, the Office of the City Clerk has prioritized easier public access to this information, reinforcing the trust and relationship council members have created with the communities they represent.  

The Council Voting History Page is also accessible from the City Clerk’s online Council Meeting Information Center and by searching "voting history" on the City of Austin’s open data website. 

Voting records are updated after each meeting’s minutes have been approved.
