The House of Representatives typically takes roll call by using an electronic voting system, where members insert their identification cards into a voting machine to register their presence. Additionally, a manual roll call can be conducted, where the names of members are called out, and they respond "present" or "here." This ensures an accurate count of members present during sessions or votes.
