Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Johan van Overtveldt 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 315 final texts where more than half of ECR members casting a vote went one way, and Johan van Overtveldt 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.
