When you click on the link below, you will be connected to a website displaying roll call vote information compiled by the Clerk of the House from the electronic voting system. Votes are displayed in reverse chronological order (in other words, the most recent votes are displayed first). Roll call votes are numbered sequentially as they are taken. By the end of the first session of the 110th Congress, 1,186 roll call votes had been taken in the House.
The summary page contains the following information about each vote:
- the roll call number;
- the date the vote was taken;
- the "issue" -- usually the number of the bill or resolution being considered;
- the "question" -- whether to agree to the resolution or the conference report, whether to suspend the rules and pass the bill (or pass the bill as amended), etc.;
- the result -- whether the question passed (P) was agreed to (A) or failed (F);
- the title of the bill or resolution or description of the vote.
The Roll Call Number is linked to the details of the vote. Vote totals are provided at the top of the page for Republicans, Democrats and Independents in each of the four vote categories: yea (or aye), nay (or no), present, not voting (NV). Party totals are followed by lists of individual members names in each of the categories.
The "Issue" -- when it is a bill or resolution -- is linked to the Bill Summary and Status record for that measure in THOMAS, a website provided by the Library of Congress containing information about legislation, public laws and floor votes.
