Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Alexander Bernhuber held the seat, 537 of them the final vote on a text.

Unlinked but matchable

25 counterpart entrys in Alexander Bernhuber's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

Matching is automated and can be wrong - see how matching works. Linking the register entry is the fix, and it is the MEP office's to make.
