Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Anouk van Brug 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.

Unlinked but matchable

5 counterpart entries in Anouk van Brug's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 3 of the 5 entries; the other 2 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.
