The full record is in the official EP declarations.
Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Marit Maij 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 601 final texts where more than half of S&D members casting a vote went one way, and Marit Maij 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 Marit Maij differed from the S&D majority
29 further instances are not listed. All roll-call votes.
Unlinked but matchable
46 counterpart entries in Marit Maij's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Foundation for European Progressive Studies” - likely Foundation for European Progressive Studies (6 counterpart entries)
- “International Federation for Rights and Developments” - likely International Federation for Rights and Developments (3 counterpart entries)
- “Christelijk Nationaal Vakverbond” - likely Christelijk Nationaal Vakverbond (2 counterpart entries)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 11 of the 46 entries; the other 35 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.
