Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Alexander Bernhuber held the seat, 606 of them the final vote on a text. A member with no vote recorded may have been on parliamentary business, ill, on leave, or present without voting - the published record does not distinguish these and gives no reason. Votes taken by show of hands or by secret ballot are not recorded by name and are absent here.
How they voted on final texts
Share of the 606 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
On the 551 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Alexander Bernhuber also voted. Groups are not bound to vote together: a Member's mandate is personal and exercised freely, so neither figure is a measure of performance.
