A method for soliciting and receiving voter feedback can comprise requesting and receiving comments, feedback, or positions from voting constituents and providing that information to elected officials for review in connection with deciding how to vote. The invention supports a method for notifying constituents about live discussions and debates on issues, during which constituents and elected officials become better educated. Steps in the method can comprise soliciting input from the constituents about an issue and weighting input according to one or more rules. Input from constituents demonstrating that they are informed or from constituents directly impacted by an issue can be weighed more heavily than input from other constituents. A database stores a record of input from each constituent so that elected officials can review opinion patterns of each constituent. Meanwhile, constituents can access a database of the voting records of elected officials.
