Voting Record
Missed Votes
From Dec 1865 to Nov 1867, Hayes missed 162 of 710 roll call votes, which is 22.8%. This is on par with the median of 26.6% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Nov 1867. 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.
