* Heritage Alliance does not penalize for not voting in cases of the speaker (who customarily does not vote except in ties), being ineligible to vote, or for someone who is voting in the other chamber. In rare cases, exceptions are made for extended excused absences. However, in these cases, Heritage Alliance usually does not have enough votes to be able to accurately assess their voting record.
