Methodology
The record.
And the source.
Each vote is presented individually. The exact motion and original document provide the context.
01
Reading a vote.
Read the label alongside the motion.
With
With voters.
The candidate voted to uphold what Missouri voters had already decided.
Against
Against voters.
The candidate voted to override what Missouri voters had already decided.
Absent
Not a vote.
An absence is never counted as a vote with the will of the people. Members not yet in office are excluded entirely.
Not every roll call is a vote on final passage. Missing information is never inferred as a yea or nay.
02
Understanding context.
Two records, displayed separately.
Ballot Measure
What was on the ballot
| Measure | Ballot title and text |

03
Checking the source.
The original document belongs beside the vote.
Every vote on this site links directly to the official House or Senate record, and each measure cites what voters decided at the ballot box.

Candidates without voting history

Candidates who have not cast votes on the selected measures receive a no-history score. Prior legislative service is shown separately from incumbency in the race they are contesting.
Records are shown vote by vote, and every number on this site links to the official record.
