About these records

This archive checks every non-attendance roll call in the configured Georgia General Assembly sessions and retains a position only when the official member ID appears and all named positions reconcile to the published totals. Yea, Nay, Not Voting, and Excused remain separate; sponsorship, attendance, omission, and chamber outcome are never inferred as positions.

Procedural votes, amendments, nominations, resolutions, final-passage votes, executive actions, and official statements remain separately labeled. A statement or department announcement is not converted into a legislative vote or proof that the officeholder personally performed the underlying work.

Archive status: Complete and directly captured from Georgia General Assembly legislation votes

What this archive contains

These are descriptive counts from captured official records, not an ideology, effectiveness, or intent score. Subject labels are navigation aids assigned from official measure text. A vote does not establish why the candidate voted that way or support for every provision in a measure.
