Reading Roll Call Votes

Follow the steps listed below to look up Representative Moulton's votes or the votes of any other Member of the U.S. House of Representatives. You may want to read all of the steps or print this page before clicking on the appropriate links.

Step 1

Please visit the Legislation and Votes web page at the Clerk of the House website.  The following web page (or similar) will display:

Under the "Roll Call Votes" heading, choose the link of the appropriate Congress and Session to view roll call votes for that session.  In addition to the current Session of Congress you will also have the option to select and view roll call votes from previous sessions of Congress.

Step 2

Once you have selected the Congress and Session you want, a web page similar to the following will display:

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 "Issue" column gives you the number of the legislation being considered. Click on the bill number to learn more about it. 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 next column tells you the title/description of the measure.  All votes are posted in reverse chronological order (most recent at the top).

Step 3

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 simply click on a previous set of roll call votes.

Step 4

Once you have selected a roll call vote, a web page similar to the following will display:

The table at the top of the page breaks the vote down by party. To see how Representative Moulton or any other Member of Congress voted, search the webpage for his or her name.
