Voting Record

Missed Votes

From Dec 1817 to Mar 1835, Hall missed 422 of 1,737 roll call votes, which is 24.3%. This is worse than the median of 18.2% among the lifetime records of representatives serving in Mar 1835. 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.
