Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Mar 1853 to Dec 1854, Everett missed 51 of 150 roll call votes, which is 34.0%. This is worse than the median of 25.9% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Dec 1854. 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.
