Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Daniel Freund held the seat, 606 of them the final vote on a text.

Unlinked but matchable

These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 9 of the 38 entries; the other 29 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.
