Open States strives to improve civic engagement at the state level by providing data and tools regarding state legislatures.We aim to serve members of the public, activist groups, journalists, and researchers with better data on what is happening in their state capital, and to provide tools to reduce barriers to participation and increase engagement.

Open States aggregates legislative information from all 50 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.This information is then standardized, cleaned, and published to the public viaOpenStates.org, a powerfulAPI, andbulk downloads.

As of 2021, Open States is a project ofPlural.
