Counterparts are merged by resolved Transparency Register identity where possible. An entry counts as register-linked above only when the MEP declaration itself carries a Register link.

Where the meetings cluster

Both lists count this term. Sector pages count the full 2016–2026 record, and committee pages show each member's current-term total across all subjects, so their figures for this member can be higher.

Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Markus Buchheit 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.
