Georgia General Assembly roll-call positions

Tyler Harper public records

811 captured recordsJanuary 11, 2021–April 5, 2022

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
