"Trackers" allow you to keep a careful watch over the government. You can track subject areas to track bills in Congress related to those topics, or you can track individual bills, and Members of Congress — but you have to tell GovTrack what you're interested in.

Once you start tracking Congress, you will see the events matching your trackers on a customized tracked events page on this site, and you can sign up for email updates (it's all free).

Getting started

Trackers are available for every person, bill, subject term or committee in Congress. Find the Add Tracker box on the appropriate page. A picture of a tracker box is shown to the right. Click the Add Tracker button to subscribe to events that are relevant to the page that you are on.

Your tracked events page will then list all recent matching events for all of your trackers, and if you're registered (it's free) and you've turned on email updates you will get those events sent to you by email. Your tracked events page also includes a link to a RSS or Atom news feed customized to the trackers you've chosen.

Start by adding trackers for subjects that interest you.
