Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Li Andersson 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 515 final texts where more than half of The Left members casting a vote went one way, and Li Andersson 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
27 counterpart entries in Li Andersson's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Demos Helsinki Oy” - likely Demos Helsinki Oy (3 counterpart entries)
- “Finnish Data Center Association” - likely Finnish Data Center Association (2 counterpart entries)
- “United for Climate Justice” - likely United for Climate Justice (2 counterpart entries)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 7 of the 27 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.
