POLISCOPE is a civic information platform that helps people understand public decisions in Florida, with a focus on state legislation and Sarasota–Manatee local government. It turns government documents into plain-English explanations, making bills, public meetings, campaign finance, executive orders, ballots, officials, and public spending easier to research. Users can search bills and records, explore election and ballot information, follow campaign money, and view local government coverage through the platform’s research tools and daily updates.

POLISCOPE connects documents, people, jurisdictions, votes, and funding records so readers can trace how public decisions relate to one another. Its site reports more than 1.5 million documents, over 1.3 million entities, 1,101 jurisdictions, and more than 3.2 million mapped connections. Data comes from sources including CivicPlus, OpenStates, Congress.gov, county clerk records, campaign finance filings, and local news. The platform describes its analysis as automated and provides citations to primary sources, with information drawn from public records. POLISCOPE also offers community and organizing features and accepts donations through POLISCOPE CIVIC FOUNDATION INC.
