In the past it has been difficult to track how our city council members have voted in important issues. Now the Austin American-Statesman has set up a new “VoteTracker” tool which will help do just that.

Using this tool, you can search by topic, meeting date, or council member to find out how the council has voted. This is a great new tool to help understand what is happening at council and should be invaluable when it’s time for the next election.
