The full record is in the official EP declarations.
Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Isabel Benjumea Benjumea 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.

With and against the group
On the 574 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Isabel Benjumea Benjumea 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.
Final texts where Isabel Benjumea Benjumea differed from the EPP majority
10 further instances are not listed. All roll-call votes.
Unlinked but matchable
19 counterpart entries in Isabel Benjumea Benjumea's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “BME” - likely Bolsas y Mercados Españoles (4 counterpart entries)
- “BBVA” - likely BANCO BILBAO VIZCAYA ARGENTARIA (2 counterpart entries)
- “AIMA” - likely The Alternative Investment Management Association Limited (1 counterpart entry)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 7 of the 19 entries; the other 12 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.
