How did my representative vote?

Voting records for Michigan's 15 members of Congress and 148 state legislators, and how to read them.

• How do I find out how my Michigan representative voted?Open your representative’s page here for attendance and recent recorded votes. The official records are the Michigan Legislature’s journals at legislature.mi.gov for state bills and clerk.house.gov and senate.gov for Congress.
• What is a roll-call vote?A vote where each member’s yea or nay is recorded by name. Voice votes and unanimous consent leave no individual record.
• Why are committee votes missing?Our state record covers floor votes. Committee votes are recorded in committee minutes and are not included.
• What does attendance mean?The share of recorded votes the member cast. Missed votes include excused absences.
• Can I see how my city council or township board voted?Most local bodies record votes only in their meeting minutes. Ann Arbor publishes roll calls we can read; elsewhere, ask the clerk for the minutes of the meeting.
