Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Lara Wolters 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 539 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and Lara Wolters 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 Lara Wolters differed from the S&D majority
20 further instances are not listed. All roll-call votes.
Unlinked but matchable
25 counterpart entries in Lara Wolters's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging” - likely Federatie Nederlandse Vakbeweging (2 counterpart entries)
- “Stichting Sustainable Finance Lab” - likely Stichting Sustainable Finance Lab (2 counterpart entries)
- “ABN AMRO Bank N.V. Vereniging van de Nederlandse Banken” - likely ABN AMRO Bank N.V. (1 counterpart entry)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 5 of the 25 entries; the other 20 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.
