Add Vote Information

You can view Vote Information as a record in IQ for tracking and analysis purposes. You can assign a vote to a staff member for follow-up, and can analyze the results of votes.

Vote Information Record General Panel

IQ creates a record for each vote taken in Congress. If your office is following a particular vote closely, you can assign it to a staff member, keep notes, and track associated issues. You can also register Leadership and Administration positions, and attach files.

Assigned To: Type the name of the staff member responsible for following this legislation or click the lookup icon to display and select from a list of users.

Issues: To categorize the vote, you can assign one or more of your office's standard legislative Issue Codes to it. Type the code, or click the lookup icon to display and select from a list of available codes. You can search for votes based on their Issue Codes.

Leadership Position: Click in this field and select Yes, No, or Unknown to show the position take by the Leadership on this legislation.
