Individual Member Vote Statistics
Each of the following metrics is derived by combining each of the 67 individual electronic votes taken across the 9 days of 2018 Town Meetings, for each Meeting Member.
- Attendance
- The percentage of total days of Annual and Special Town Meeting where a Meeting Member cast at least one vote per evening. For example, if a member was present for 8 of the 9 days of Town Meeting, their attendance would be 88.9% (8 divided by 9).
When a Meeting Member is in attendance, they may not vote on every article, due to leaving early or other reason. Thus, for each member, where they have voted, the following metrics are calculated:
- Yes Vote
- The percentage of the member's total votes that were YES
- No Vote:
- The percentage of the member's total votes that were NO
- Abstain Vote
- The percentage of the member's total votes that were ABSTAIN
