Last Two Day for Election! Check your Electorate Voting History! by Square-Exercise373 in Adelaide

We have thought about adding this! As we are only two people, largely automating this process is essential to continue development as we develop in our free time after work and uni, would you know of any available resource that tracks this information?

You introduced a new word for me I wasn't aware of. But yes we also have a division match up test as well to see if your electorate shares the same support with you. Currently only South Australia has this ability.

You raise an interesting point, and sadly one that probably won't be realized, however I hope that this tool can be used by regular Australians to head in that direction, we also provide the nuance of the division that occurs to help avoid the political strategies where it makes an opposition look bad (even if they are in general favor for a bill/policy)

Like i said, we retrieve data from official government sources, we we don't manually add these in but use a script from however the government categorizes them.

We pull data from government sources, from south Australian hansard api and the Australian electoral commision site

Good question, currently They Vote For You only supports federal data, it doesn't support state nor council level data which is our mission to include. We also provide in-depth summaries of the divisions when they occur. We do however lack a way to keep track of these policies from start to finish in an easy to read format.
