Voting Record

Missed Votes

From Dec 1923 to Oct 1972, Celler missed 1,210 of 5,580 roll call votes, which is 21.7%. This is much worse than the median of 10.0% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Oct 1972. 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.
