Steny's Legislative Information

Who keeps track of votes?

The Clerk of the House of Representatives maintains a list of votes for each motion and legislation that is voted on by the full House. These are called "roll call votes."

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

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

Visit the Clerk's Roll Call Vote webpage. On the right there are links to view roll call votes. The far left column labed "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/descritpion of the measure. All votes are posted in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top).

Click 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 left. Simply click on a previous set of roll call votes.

After clicking on the appropriate roll, you will be taken to this page. Scoll down to see how Congressman Hoyer voted on this measure.

You can also view the most recent votes at Project Vote Smart or the Washington Post.
