How these numbers work

Counted from the official minutes, for 2025–2027 Council only. Committee meetings and routine votes (adjourning, approving minutes) are not counted.
Attendance counts the meetings where the minutes list Griffith as present or absent at the start.
Only votes the minutes record member by member are counted. Voice votes and votes given only as a count (for example 6-3 with no names) are not.
Percentages are shown only when there are at least 10 meetings or votes to count.
A split vote is one where at least one member voted yes and another voted no. “In the minority” means on the side with fewer votes; ties are not counted.
“Whole board” combines every member’s record for the same term.

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