Our History
Proud and time-tested tradition of excellenceIRC's collective foundation of legislative knowledge coupled with its technological proficiencies provide the essential elements to develop and implement successful products and solutions. Both with IRC staff and its system products, the client will be confident that IRC understands the unique responsibilities of each legislative office and staff person and how that role relates to the overall process. This understanding is an integral ingredient relied upon for the success of all our legislative solutions.
IRC has a proven history with the development and installation of legislative voting systems in over 70 of the state legislative chambers. IRC has coupled the success and technologies of Legislative Voting Systems with the development and installation of Legislative Management Systems for the states of Alabama, Georgia, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Maine, and Vermont. The most recently implemented Legislative Management System was a complete process software product customized and implemented for the Legislature of the State of Alabama.
Our founder, Marshall Thompson, demonstrated the first electromechanical voting system to the U.S. Congress in 1922. Years later he formed International Roll-Call® after innovating the voting process with a series of patents.
This product allowed legislatures to meet when in-person restrictions were in place.
Presently, IRC technology solutions for voting, voting displays, and/or management of the legislative process is present in over 70 of the state legislative chambers.
Presently, IRC has four former legislative employees on staff, collectively contributing to over a decade of first-hand knowledge of the Legislative Process and Parliamentary Procedure. This includes a former Clerk, Deputy Clerk, Deputy Committee Clerk, and Clerical Assistants. Possessing direct Legislative experience, the Legislative Process Consulting (LPC) Team has an innate understanding of the nuances and intricacies of different Legislative bodies and Chambers.
