Congress.gov: Enhanced Access to House Roll Call Votes Is Now Available

In a previous release, Andrew announced that beta House Roll Call Votes were available in the Congress.gov API. Today, we are excited to announce that we have added enhanced access to House of Representatives roll call votes from 2023 to the present on the Congress.gov web application. There are multiple ways to access this new feature.

From the Congress.gov homepage, you can use the global search box, change the selection in the drop-down menu to “All Congresses,” type “entity: vote,” and click search. You can then use the filters menu on the left to narrow down your results. You can choose to download your search results at the top of the screen. You can also sort your results from newest to oldest, click “save this search” at the top of the screen, and then choose to receive email alerts whenever a new roll call vote is available.

In addition, you can choose to browse House roll call votes. You will notice they are listed by congress and session. Click on a session, and then you will see the votes arranged by month, along with the vote number, date, vote question, vote type, and an abbreviated result. Click on the vote to view a detail page with an expanded view that includes detailed information about the result, who voted, and a breakdown of the vote along party lines. There are drop-down menus that you can use to narrow down your results by a particular party, members from a particular state, or how the member voted. There is also a search box where you can search to see how a particular member voted.

If you visit a member profile page for a member of the House of Representatives, you can now click on roll call votes, filter the results by Congress, and you can download the results. You can also choose to get alerts at the top of the screen to receive an email alert whenever that particular member votes.

Finally, if you prefer to use an advanced search form, you can now search these enhanced House of Representatives roll call votes from 2023 to the present using the query builder. Just click on the drop-down menu under the label “search in,” and you will see roll call votes listed as an option.
