Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Jan 1961 to Dec 1974, Martin missed 481 of 3,513 roll call votes, which is 13.7%. This is worse than the median of 9.7% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Dec 1974. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses, major life events, and running for higher office.
