Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Borys Budka 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 506 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Borys Budka 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
31 counterpart entries in Borys Budka's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “ENTSOG” - likely European Network of Transmission System Operators for Gas (3 counterpart entries)
- “Gaz System” - likely GAZ-SYSTEM S.A. (2 counterpart entries)
- “META” - likely Meta Platforms Ireland Limited and its various subsidiaries (2 counterpart entries)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 7 of the 31 entries; the other 24 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.
