Legislation, written together.
Read by everyone.
CiviDraft is a collaborative platform for legislators, policy staff, advocates, and citizens to draft, analyze, and discuss bills — translating between legal precision and plain language.
Built for everyone in the room.
Five capabilities form the foundation of CiviDraft. Phase 1 ships authentication, role management, and the design system.
Section-by-section drafting
Edit legal text and plain language side-by-side, with version history and auto-save.
Translate with AI
Convert dense legalese into 8th-grade plain language — and back — with one click.
Real collaboration
Invite co-authors, leave threaded comments anchored to sections, and resolve in place.
Impact analysis
Surface affected groups, fiscal estimates, risks, and benefits — in structured form.
WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility
Keyboard navigation, screen-reader optimized, dyslexia-friendly font, high contrast.
From draft to published
Move bills through draft, review, published, and enacted with role-aware permissions.
