New Zealand Parliamentary Votes

Data set containing all bills voted on by parliament, recording details of the issue/bill (date, name, abstract, URL to more data, etc.) which MPs voted and which vote (aye, nay [abstain?]) they each cast. I'm not sure if it's easier to try and collate this on a per-bill basis, or a per-MP basis.

Analysing MP voting records and parliamentary voting statistics.

Office of the Clerk of the House of Representatives

Data not available for release

Details of all votes taken in the House are recorded in the Journals of the House of Representatives, which are available at http://www.parliament.nz/en-NZ/PB/Debates/Journals/. Vote information is not recorded in a database. Since 1996 most votes in the House have been party votes, where each party casts votes on behalf of its members present in the precincts or otherwise eligible to vote. Personal votes, where each member votes individually, are rare. When personal votes are held, each vote cast is recorded in the Journals. Information about when each bill passes each stage in the House is published on the detail page for each bill on the parliament website. A combined table that shows all bills for a parliament, and the dates on which each stage was completed, is published in hard copy in the Parliamentary Bulletin. We are currently investigating how this combined information could be published on the website.

    I'm writing a thesis essay on conscience voting in New Zealand and require a list of all bills that have been voted on via a conscience vote in the House. If this would be at all possible that would be amazing!

    Ngā mihi,
    Georgia
