Voting Record
Voting is among the most important responsibilities of a Senator. There are three ways of voting in the Senate: voice, division, and yea and nay (also called rollcall or recorded) votes. Neither voice or division votes are recognized in the rules of the Senate. Instead, they are permitted by precedent. Senate Rule XII outlines voting procedure in the chamber and explicity identifies "the yeas and nays." Click here for more information on voting in the Senate.
