From Mar 1829 to Mar 1831, Livingston missed 41 of 277 roll call votes, which is 14.8%. This is on par with the median of 12.4% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1831. 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.
