About Concord Civic Compass
See where you stand. Concord is the nonpartisan civic app for people who care about policy more than party. It turns civic noise into four useful answers: • NEWS: What is happening? Explore an AI-powered feed that groups the same story across outlets, shows which leans covered it and when coverage is one-sided, and lets you answer questions about the issues behind it. • COMPASS: Where do I stand? Get a clear breakdown of your views across sixteen policy dimensions without being reduced to a party label. • BALLOT: What is on my ballot? See your races and, where your state has published them, your statewide measures, with what a Yes and a No vote do and the official ballot language. Compass Insights shows how your own answers line up with a measure, where one has been reviewed. • BILLS: What are lawmakers doing? Follow federal and California bills with their official status and summaries, weigh in, and contact your representatives. No account. No ads. No tracking. Your answer history stays on your device. Shared answers leave it only as anonymous counts that carry nothing identifying you, and sharing can be turned off in Account. Concord takes no money from parties or campaigns. Sources: Congress.gov, the FEC, state legislatures (via Open States), state election offices, and California's Fair Political Practices Commission. Concord is not a government app and does not represent any government or political entity.
What’s new
Version 1.2.1 · Updated October 26, 2026
Ballot measures Measures now lead with the question they ask, written by Concord from the official text, so you can see the decision before you read the full language. A Yes to the question is a Yes vote. California measures show who is paying for them: money raised to support and to oppose, and the state's official list of largest contributors, with the date and the source. Concord adds no judgement to the record. The Yes and No lines on eleven measures were corrected to match the official text. Reading Tap an underlined term in a story, bill or measure for a short definition. Tap a side name on any issue meter to see what that side stands for. Bills Filter by status: In progress or Decided. Your filters stay set until you reset them. Compass Insights shows a direction only when your answers give it one, and reads as the answer and the counts behind it. Your story Every party and movement name opens what it stands for. The card comparing you with everyone who shares answers says who is counted. After your first pass it opens as your early read, and it stays on your card while the rest of the deck loads. Also in this update: one close button everywhere, dialogs that dim the whole screen, the first-run tour ends on your first pass, and section headings work with the screen reader's headings navigation.
