About Us
The Virginia Public Access Project (VPAP) was established in 1997 to provide Virginians with access to public documents related to the financial aspects of politics. Over the years, VPAP has expanded its services to include access to state and local government information, data visualizations, election night results and analysis, lobbyist registrations and disclosures, General Assembly member demographics, and legislative votes and analysis. Additionally, VPAP offers VaNews, a daily aggregation of state and local political and government news. Recently, VPAP has also begun providing resources for civics education across the Commonwealth.
VPAP strives to remain relevant to political leaders, governmental officials, lobbyists, and campaign staff while ensuring that our data is accessible to everyday citizens who seek knowledge to make informed choices at the ballot box and beyond.
We are committed to presenting information in a nonpartisan manner. This commitment enables citizens to access the information necessary to make decisions that reflect their values.
