Constituent Polling Pledge

I pledge to represent the majority interests of my constituents, as defined herein.

On my government website, I will inform my constituents of all legislation, or other measures available for my voting decisions. I will provide a summary of the pros and cons for each, and a link to their content. In addition, I will dedicate at least one of my staff members to contact my constituents to inform them that they will have a voice in my voting decisions using Constituent Polling.

Constituents, who are at least 18 years of age and residents of my voting district, may register with my office to vote in polling for legislation that could affect their health, safety, financial security or civil rights I can vote on for or against as their representative. A current voter registration card or state issued ID must be submitted in person, or via the internet, to be verified to participate in polling.

Constituents may go online, call my office, or visit my office to vote in polling. Polling participants may vote one time in each poll, for or against any bill available for my voting decisions. Their polling ID number registered with my office will be displayed, along with the time their vote was recorded on my website, which will allow them to see if their vote was accurately recorded.

If my polling constituents vote over fifty percent for or against a bill, I will vote according to their majority polling decisions, or present a written and audio/visual explanation for voting against their majority opinion on my web site. However, if sixty percent or more of my polling constituents want me to vote for or against a bill, I will vote according to their wishes. Polling results will be updated daily, and displayed and archived online before I cast any vote for legislation or other measures. This provides my constituents with a clear and transparent record of both their and my voting record throughout my term in office.

This pledge can be used as is, or revised by a candidate or those in office to meet his or her personal preferences. Revisions approved and posted on their websites, will receive campaign support.
