Methodology

The methodology for calculating the “voting coincidence” compares how the United States and the listed country voted. Votes are placed into one of four categories: same; opposite; partial; and absent.

  • “Same” is the total number of times the United States and the listed country voted together, with each vote counting as one (1) point.
  • “Opposite” is the total number of times the United States and the listed country voted counter to each other; each vote counts as zero (0) points.

Voting Coincidence with the United States is calculated by adding the points, and the total is divided by the total number of votes. For resolutions adopted by acclaim, the vote of every country is assigned “same” and calculated accordingly.

The Department of State updated its methodology for the 2017 report to ensure that abstentions are reflected and to emphasize the votes taken on final resolutions over those taken on preliminary texts. These updates are intended to capture more accurately the voting conduct of UN member states. Of the 342 draft resolutions in the UN General Assembly in 2024,  95 required a vote (28 percent).
