ADADSince 2009, 82 percent of roll-call votes taken in the House — that is, votes in which members identify their vote by name — were taken Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday. This year was below average, with about 9 percent of roll-call votes taken Friday. On average, only 5 percent of roll-call votes taken in the Senate in the past 11 years were taken on a Friday. The most common day for roll-call votes in the Senate is Thursday — the deadline for voting to clear Friday for travel. By comparison, the House has taken 13 times as many votes on Friday as Saturday over that period.
