Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Sep 1837 to Feb 1838, Cilley missed 11 of 100 roll call votes, which is 11.0%. This is better than the median of 23.4% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Feb 1838. The chart below reports missed votes over time.
We don’t track why legislators miss votes, but it’s often due to medical absenses and major life events.
