How these numbers work

Counted from the official House and Senate roll calls. Quorum calls are not counted.
“Roll calls voted on” matches the Missed votes figures below; voting “present” counts as voting.
A split vote is one where at least one member voted yes and another voted no (ties not counted). “In the minority” means on the side with fewer votes.
“Whole House” combines every member’s record for the same session. Percentages are shown only with at least 10 votes to count.
Most bills pass or die without a roll call, so these numbers cover only part of a legislator’s work.
Party is shown as the Legislature lists it, next to the district. MassVoter never compares, groups or ranks legislators by party.

These numbers describe the record; they are not a grade. A no vote or a minority vote is neither good nor bad. MassVoter never rates legislators.

Most divided votes

For each session, the 10 roll calls where the losing side was largest, with how Brendan P. Crighton voted. Most roll calls in the Massachusetts Legislature pass by wide margins, so these are where members split the most.
