Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Juan Ignacio Zoido Álvarez 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.

Unlinked but matchable

1 counterpart entry in Juan Ignacio Zoido Álvarez's declarations appears to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

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.
