Voting Record

Missed Votes

From Jan 1834 to Mar 1841, Lincoln missed 239 of 1,978 roll call votes, which is 12.1%. This is better than the median of 30.0% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1841. 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.
