Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Arash Saeidi held the seat, 537 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 537 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
On the 387 final texts where more than half of The Left members casting a vote went one way, and Arash Saeidi 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
36 counterpart entrys in Arash Saeidi's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Chambres d'agriculture France” - likely Chambres d'agriculture France (3 counterpart entrys)
- “Air France-KLM” - likely Air France-KLM (2 counterpart entrys)
- “ILEC- La Voix des marques” - likely ILEC- La Voix des marques (2 counterpart entrys)
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.
