House Republicans have officially ended the practice of proxy voting, which was established during the COVID-19 pandemic<\/a> to permit lawmakers to vote without being present in-person.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“No more proxy voting,” House Speaker Kevin McCarthy<\/a>, R-Calif., announced Thursday. “Effective immediately, Members of Congress have to show up to work if they want their vote to count.”<\/p>\n

Proxy voting was established by former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi<\/a>, D-Calif., in May 2020 to allow Congress to operate under COVID-19 pandemic protocols. Instead of showing up for votes, a member of Congress could submit a letter to have a colleague announce their position on bills and amendments and even cast votes in their name. <\/p>\n

Republicans have argued this policy enabled abuse<\/a> and permitted legislators to neglect their responsibilities, though many GOP lawmakers took advantage of proxy voting in the last Congress.<\/p>\n

In 2020, 160 Republicans signed on to a lawsuit brought by McCarthy challenging the practice that was rejected by the Supreme Court. But by the end of 2021, roughly 70% of the original Republican plaintiffs had voted by proxy, according to a study by the Brookings Institute.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While proxy voting was intended as a “public health emergency” policy, lawmakers in both parties have pawned off their votes to attend campaign events and other functions entirely unrelated to their health concerns with voting in-person.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For example, three Michigan Democrats<\/a> voted by proxy so they could attend an event with President Biden at the Ford Motors facility in Dearborn, Michigan in May 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., and other Republicans have been caught using proxy voting tp speak at CPAC.<\/p>\n

McCarthy had vowed to end the practice if Republicans captured the House majority.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The Senate has managed to maintain in-person Floor voting for the entirety of the past two years \u2014 with a much older population and a 50-50 makeup, no less,” he said in December<\/a>. “From the get-go, we warned that proxy voting would be misused as a means of convenience rather than as a precaution for health \u2014 and it has been, by members of both parties.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
