Reviewing Voting Information

Market: House, Senate

Description: In IQ, users can view congressional voting activities via categories and their statistics. As a result, office staff can monitor how Congress Members have voted upon legislation. Office staff can also better track a piece of legislation and analyze the statistical breakdown per party, state, and member to support their activities.

These instructions teach users how to use IQ to view congressional voting activities (e.g., bills, sponsors, vote dates, outcomes, party votes, issues, etc.).
