Common questions

How can I find out how my MP voted on Benefits?

Enter your postcode on this page. We identify your constituency's MP and total up their recorded Aye and No votes in House of Commons divisions we have tagged as relating to Benefits.

How are Benefits votes identified?

We tag each Commons division using keyword rules applied to the official division title. A division counts towards Benefits when its title matches those keywords. The Commons Votes API does not provide a topic field, so this tagging is our own and may not capture every relevant vote.

Why might my MP's record differ from what I expected?

A single vote rarely tells the whole story — divisions can be on amendments, procedure, or the final reading of a bill, and an MP may support an aim while voting against a particular measure. Use the link to their full voting list to see the detail behind each vote.
