Signing in

Sign in with email, Google, Microsoft, GitHub or Slack, through your organization's single sign-on, or from an invitation.

You don't need to sign in to browse bills, legislators, committees and the calendar. Sign in to use what belongs to you and your organization: watching bills and email notifications, saved views and lists, scorecards, and — with a Full license — exports and API keys.

Sign in#

  1. Choose Sign in at the top right of any page. On a phone, choose Register there, then Sign in under the plans.

  2. On the sign-in page, enter your email address and password, or continue with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or Slack — whichever you used to set up your login.

  3. If you belong to more than one organization, choose the one to work in. See Choosing and switching organizations.

Owners and Admins land on the Organization page; everyone else lands on My profile.

Sign-in is run by CapitolMath's sign-in provider, so your password never reaches CapitolMath. If you've forgotten it, the sign-in page can reset it. To change it, open My profile, go to Password and choose Change password.

Single sign-on#

If your organization signs in through its own identity provider (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and others), sign in that way. Once single sign-on is live for an organization, it's required: everyone in the organization, and anyone with the company's email domain, signs in through the identity provider, and other ways of signing in are refused. Sessions that started before it went live were ended, so you may be asked to sign in again.

New people are added the first time they sign in through the identity provider, with the role it assigns them.

Arriving by invitation#

When someone invites you, you get an email titled "You're invited to join organization on CapitolMath". The link in it works once and expires after 14 days.

  1. Open the link. The page says which organization invited you, and with which role.

  2. If you aren't signed in, choose Continue with Google, Microsoft, GitHub or Slack, or Continue as your address. Use the login for the address the invitation was sent to. If you're new to CapitolMath and continue with your address, your login is set up as you go and you choose a password.

  3. Back on the invitation, choose Join and the organization's name.

If you're already signed in with a different address, the page says so: choose Log out and continue and sign in with the invited one.

If the page says This invitation has expired, the invitation ran past its 14 days, was withdrawn, or was replaced by a newer email — only the latest email's link works. Ask an Owner or Admin of the organization to invite you again.

No login yet#

Choose Register to pick a plan and set up an organization of your own. You give an email address and an organization handle — your organization's unique ID on CapitolMath — and, if you like, how you heard about CapitolMath. Then you confirm the address from a link that expires in 24 hours. Registering creates your organization and makes you its Owner.
