How to read these votesOnly recorded votes are listed, a vote on an amendment isn't a vote on the whole bill, and we never score legislators. What's included and what isn't.About the vote tracker →

From the official record of the Massachusetts Legislature (malegislature.gov): roll call votes, bill titles and member lists. Only roll call votes record how each member voted; many bills pass on a voice vote with no individual record. MassVoter never grades or scores legislators. How to read this
