How these are counted

Every figure is a deterministic count over the City of Knoxville, TN City Council’s published motions on meetings held in 2024 — the same records behind the vote browser each card links to. Nothing here is a composite score, a grade, or a ranking.

  • Unanimity rate = adopted motions with at least one aye and no dissent or abstention, divided by all adopted motions. Shown as a percentage only when there are at least 10 adopted motions.
  • Deferral rate = motions disposed as deferred, divided by all recorded decisions in the year. Shown as a percentage only at or above 10 decisions.
  • Topics most voted on counts each decision under every neutral topic its agenda items carry (primary and secondary tags alike); procedural items are excluded, as in the default vote browser.
  • Biggest split votes are decided (adopted or failed) contested motions ordered by the smallest winning margin |aye−no| first — the most divided decisions.
