No more Proxy Voting in House

Speaker McCarthy confirms official end to pandemic-related proxy voting allowed under Pelosi

With a Republican majority and Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) now in charge of the House of Representatives, a number of changes have been made or are underway with respect to how that legislative body will operate over at least the next two years.

One such change that has already taken effect is an end to the practice of proxy voting, in which absent members designate other members to cast votes on their behalf.

“No more proxy voting. Effective immediately, Members of Congress have to show up to work if they want their vote to count.” Kevin McCarthy (@SpeakerMcCarthy)

Proxy voting started with Pelosi during the Pandemic but then members of the House began to abuse it.
