Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Eszter Lakos 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 405 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Eszter Lakos 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
13 counterpart entries in Eszter Lakos's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “BBMRI-ERIC” - likely Biobanking and Biomolecular resources Research Infrastructure-European Research Infrastructure Consortium (1 counterpart entry)
- “Contemporary Amperex Technology Hungary” - likely Contemporary Amperex Technology Hungary (1 counterpart entry)
- “Euro-BioImaging ERIC” - likely Euro-BioImaging ERIC (1 counterpart entry)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 3 of the 13 entries; the other 10 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.
