Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Andrea Wechsler 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 569 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Andrea Wechsler 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.

Unlinked but matchable
64 counterpart entries in Andrea Wechsler's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Bundesverband WindEnergie e.V.” - likely Bundesverband WindEnergie e.V. (3 counterpart entries)
- “GE Vernova” - likely GE Vernova (2 counterpart entries)
- “HIF EMEA” - likely HIF EMEA (2 counterpart entries)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 7 of the 64 entries; the other 57 are not listed.
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.
