About this list

Races in our results files. Other offices, earlier years and most primaries can be missing. A general that went to a runoff counts as neither a win nor a loss.

Senate votes

119th Congress, through Sept 30, 2026

915 roll calls. Yea 571, Nay 230, Not voting 114.

Roll calls missed
12.5%
Voted with own party when parties split
96.5%
How these are counted

Missed is Not Voting divided by every roll call the member was listed on, including quorum calls and procedural votes. It covers any absence, including illness and leave.

Party split: a roll call counts when the Democratic majority and the Republican majority voted opposite ways. That was 734 roll calls, and the member matched their own party on 708. We pick no votes ourselves.

Senate votes come from Voteview. Lewis, Jeffrey B., Keith Poole, Howard Rosenthal, Adam Boche, Aaron Rudkin, and Luke Sonnet (2026). Voteview: Congressional Roll-Call Votes Database. https://voteview.com/
