About the Atlas
Voting Atlas shows how the member states of the United Nations vote in the General Assembly. Every recorded vote since 1946 — more than 5,700 resolutions and over 950,000 individual country votes — can be explored from two sides: by resolution and by country.
What you can do
- Resolutions
- Browse and search all recorded votes, see how every country voted, read a short summary and open the official text.
- Countries
- See how one country voted — yes, no, abstained or did not vote — for any period and topic.
- Compare
- See which countries vote alike: a world map of how often every country voted like the one you choose, and any two countries side by side — by year, by topic and where they voted against each other.
- Quiz
- Vote yourself on ten real resolutions that divided the world, and see which countries voted most like you.
- Shifts
- Many resolutions are voted on every year. See which countries switched between yes and no, and how each of these resolutions fared over the years.
- Rankings
- Compare countries, for example which countries most often voted no on nuclear weapons, or most often did not vote.
Where the data comes from
- Votes: the official United Nations General Assembly Voting Data of the Dag Hammarskjöld Library, published in the UN Digital Library. New votes are added daily from the same library.
- Resolution texts: the UN Official Document System.
- Summaries and topics are written by AI from the official resolution text. They help you find your way but can contain mistakes — the official document is authoritative.
How to read the numbers
- Only resolutions adopted by a recorded vote are included. Many resolutions are adopted without a vote; they have no country-by-country record.
- Did not vote covers absence as well as states that had lost their vote, for example because of arrears in their contributions (Article 19 of the UN Charter).
- Former states such as the Soviet Union or West Germany are shown separately from their successors.
