Roll-call votes › About this data
Roll-call votes
When the House or the Senate takes a recorded vote, the chamber writes down how every member voted: yea, nay, present or not voting. This feed lists those votes, newest first, with the question put to the chamber, the result, the totals and, when the vote was on a bill or resolution, the bill. A member's page lists the votes they took part in and the votes on the bills they sponsored.
- Where it comes from
The Clerk of the House publishes each House vote on its website. Senate votes come from Voteview, a University of California, Los Angeles project that republishes every recorded Senate vote, because the Senate's own website blocks automated collection. Voteview asks to be cited as: Lewis, Jeffrey B., Keith Poole, Howard Rosenthal, Adam Boche, Aaron Rudkin, and Luke Sonnet (2026), Voteview: Congressional Roll-Call Votes Database, https://voteview.com/.
Who reports it: The Clerk of the House publishes each House vote on its own site, usually within hours. Senate votes come from Voteview, a University of California, Los Angeles project that republishes the Senate's recorded votes, typically within a few days of the vote.
Official sources
- How often we update it
- Several times a day on weekdays while Congress is in session. Senate votes usually arrive within a few days of the vote.

- Coverage
- Recorded votes since January 2015. Senate votes have no time of day, and the Vice President's tie-breaking vote is not counted in the yeas and nays we show.
- Worth knowing
- Many bills pass by voice vote or unanimous consent, which are not recorded by name, so a bill missing here may still have passed. A vote on an amendment, on a rule or on ending debate is not a vote on the bill itself, and a member can vote differently on each. Quorum calls, nominations and the election of the Speaker have no bill. Searching by words or bill lifts the date window so every match shows. Senate votes come from Voteview rather than from the Senate itself, so a vote the Vice President decided by breaking a tie shows one fewer yea or nay than the Senate's own count, and Senate votes have no time of day.
