A public voting record tracker for Brazilian labor reform legislation, specifically targeting politicians' positions on the 6x1 work week.

The pain

Brazilian workers operate under a 6-day work week with 1 day off, a schedule that labor advocates argue is outdated and harmful. Citizens lack a centralized, accessible way to see which politicians actively oppose reform, making it difficult to hold representatives accountable on this specific issue.

The gap

While voting records exist in government databases, they're fragmented, hard to parse, and require technical skill to access. No single site aggregates and presents this data specifically for the 6x1 issue in a way that drives political pressure or informs voter decisions.

Build angle

Start as a simple, searchable database of voting records on 6x1-related bills. Add features gradually: politician scorecards, district-level breakdowns, share-to-social tools, and integration with voter registration data. Focus on making it easy for activists and journalists to cite specific votes.

Strengths

  • Clear, defined problem with passionate constituency (labor advocates, workers)
  • Data already exists in public records, no need to create information
  • Low technical barrier to launch an MVP (spreadsheet + basic web interface)
  • Potential to influence real political outcomes if adoption reaches critical mass
  • Fits a proven pattern: issue-specific voting trackers work (e.g., ProPublica Congress tracker)

Risks

  • Demand unproven, unclear how many Brazilians actively search for this data or change votes based on it
  • Political backlash possible; politicians may pressure the site or claim bias
  • Maintenance burden: voting records must be updated continuously and accurately
  • No revenue model identified; unclear how to sustain the project long-term
  • Narrow issue focus limits audience size compared to general voting trackers
  • Requires understanding of Brazilian legislative process and political landscape
