How can I look up a vote cast by Congressman Platts?

Simply follow the easy steps listed below to look up a vote cast by myself or any other member. Note: You may want to read all of the steps before clicking on the appropriate links.

Step 1

The Clerk's Roll Call Vote WebpageVisit the Clerk's Roll Call Vote Web site. The far left column labeled "Roll" will give you the number of the roll call vote. Moving to the column on the right, you see the date the vote was cast. The "Question" tells you if the vote was on final passage, on an amendment, or as otherwise noted. The "Result" is the outcome: P=passed, F=failed, and A=the amendment was agreed to. The column that is cut off from view on the right tells you the title/description of the measure. All votes are posted in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top).

Step 2

The Clerk's Roll Call Vote WebpageClick on the appropriate "Roll" number on the same row as the title/description that you are interested in. If it is an older vote that you are interested in (must be in the same year), move to the bottom of the screen and you will encounter a similar image as seen on the right. Simply click on a previous set of roll call votes.

 

Step 3
