Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Lynn Boylan 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.
How they voted on final texts
Share of the 537 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
On the 422 final texts where more than half of The Left members casting a vote went one way, and Lynn Boylan 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
42 counterpart entrys in Lynn Boylan's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “American Friends Service Committee” - likely American Friends Service Committee (3 counterpart entrys)
- “Beyond Fossil Fuels” - likely Beyond Fossil Fuels (2 counterpart entrys)
- “EKO” - likely Ekō (2 counterpart entrys)
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.
