Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Isabel Benjumea Benjumea held the seat, 537 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 506 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.

Unlinked but matchable
18 counterpart entrys 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 (3 counterpart entrys)
- “BBVA” - likely BANCO BILBAO VIZCAYA ARGENTARIA (2 counterpart entrys)
- “AIMA” - likely The Alternative Investment Management Association Limited (1 counterpart entry)
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.
