This is a single vote resource from the openparliament.ca API. If you’re new here, you might want to look at the documentation. If API and JSON are gibberish to you, you’re better off at our main site.

Notes

What we call votes are divisions in official Parliamentary lingo. We refer to an individual person's vote as a ballot.
