Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Ingeborg ter Laak 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 592 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Ingeborg ter Laak 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.
