Cicero, our district matching and elected official lookup API has crossed the ocean before, with the addition of Australia and New Zealand data. However, this week we are announcing our most recent international journey… to the United Kingdom. Cicero users can now match any address in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland to their corresponding legislative districts and elected officials, including:

- UK Parliament (House of Commons)
- Greater London Assembly
- The Scottish Parliament
- The National Assembly for Wales
- Northern Ireland Assembly
This most recent addition further sets Cicero apart from other services as the only address-based, legislative district web API that offers access to a rich collection of elected official information and legislative boundary data from around the world.
The Cicero API currently provides political data to public and private web applications for newspapers, election watchdog groups, philanthropic foundations, unions, arts organizations, and commercial firms. Cicero provides address-based district matching, maps of each legislative district, and contact information for local, state and national elected officials in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and now the United Kingdom. This adds up to a total of 10,700 legislative boundaries and information on over 12,000 elected officials.
We’ve also been actively working on several other developments:
- With the addition of Nova Scotia, Canada to Cicero, we now have full national and provincial-level coverage of Canada.
- Through online account administration pages, our clients can now track their credit usage, activity and change their account information .
We are partnering with DemocracyInAction’s Salsa Labs, a web-based suite of tools for organizations, campaigns, and companies to use for online organizing, advocacy, fundraising, and communications. Using a Cicero-enabled plugin designed specifically for the Salsa Labs platform, Salsa customers are now able to accurately match all their member records to the associated legislative districts at the local, state, and national levels. The plug-in provides them with the ability to stamp each record with a geocoded point, legislative district id’s, and up-to-date elected official contact information. With this information they are able to better analyze and direct their member database by segmenting the records using a variety of district types, and conduct ‘Call to Action’ email and SMS text campaigns.
