HOW DID YOUR REPRESENTATIVE VOTE? FIND OUT.

Understanding Congressional Votes

Congress decides the fate of legislation through several types of votes. Not all votes are created equal — some record every member's position while others leave no individual trace.

R

Roll Call Votes

Every member's position is recorded and made public. This is the most transparent type of vote and the primary tool for holding representatives accountable. Roll call votes are what this page tracks.

V

Voice Votes

Members say "aye" or "no" aloud and the presiding officer judges which side prevails. No individual positions are recorded — making it impossible to know how your representative voted.

U

Unanimous Consent

Passed without formal objection. Often used for routine or non-controversial matters. A single member can block unanimous consent by objecting — but most routine legislation passes this way.

Why Votes Matter

A representative's voting record is the most concrete, verifiable measure of their priorities. Campaign promises are rhetoric — votes are action. Use this tool to see if your elected officials vote the way they promised.

How to Use Vote Data

Congressional votes are public record. Here's how to turn that transparency into action.

Hold Your Rep Accountable

Reference specific votes when writing to your representative. Saying "you voted NAY on HR 1234" is far more powerful than general complaints.
