Every two years, voters choose 435 members of the U.S. House of Representatives. Control of the House is up again this year. The party with the most seats selects all committee chairs and decides which bills to consider—and which investigations to conduct. This guide shows how the two parties have voted on important issues. The votes shown are either straight party-line votes or votes where 10 or fewer members crossed over to vote with the other party, except where noted.
We’ve focused here on party-line votes, or votes with only a few crossovers, to highlight the issues where each party has voted together. But some votes are bipartisan, and each Congressperson decides how to vote on every issue. Please see Congress.gov for a list of Congressional votes, guides.vote for our U.S. Senate and governor guides, and Vote411.org for races we don’t cover. guides.vote is a nonpartisan project to show where candidates stand, with links to credible sources. We do not support or oppose any political party or candidate for office.
