Recorded Votes Tracker 2009

This chart is a regularly updated tally of votes taken in the House and Senate this year along with whether it was recorded or taken via voice vote. The Policy Council relies on the General Assembly''s voting records, which means there is a lag time in the reporting process. Please recognize these numbers may be a day or two out of date at any given time. Resolutions and congratulatory acts that are not meaningful legislation are excluded from the tally.
