In build · For lobbying teams
Count your votes as a team.
The Whip gives your team one shared board for each bill: where every member stands, who still needs a call, and the moment you have the votes.

51 and you're done
The count, without the spreadsheet.
Your team works one board instead of trading versions of a spreadsheet.
Every member's position on one board.
Each seat is a member. Mark them yes, leaning, or still to call, and the whole team sees the same count.
Sample count, not a real bill.
Who still needs a call, and who is making it.
Hand out calls across the team. Everyone sees what is left and who has it.
split the list, not the spreadsheet
51 in the House, 18 in the Senate.
The Whip knows the majority for each chamber, so the count always shows how far you have to go.
Bars are samples. Lines mark a majority.
Know the moment you have the votes.
When the count reaches a majority, the board says so, and your team hears about it at once.
Three steps to a count.
- 01
Add your bill
Pick the bill and the chamber. The board loads every member.
- 02
Split the calls
Assign members to people on your team, and mark positions as you hear them.
- 03
Count to a majority
The board fills in as you go and tells you when you're there.
Before you ask.
Who can see our count?
Only the people on your team. A count is private to the team that made it.
Does it work for the Senate?
Yes. The Senate board has 35 seats and a majority of 18.
Where does the member list come from?
The Arkansas Legislature's public roster. Positions are yours, entered by your team.
