Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Mar 1908 to Mar 1913, Dixon missed 312 of 746 roll call votes, which is 41.8%. This is worse than the median of 29.5% among the lifetime records of senators serving in Mar 1913. 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.
