Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 4,114 roll-call votes while Martin Günther held the seat, 370 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 370 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
On the 293 final texts where more than half of The Left members casting a vote went one way, and Martin Günther 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 Martin Günther differed from The Left majority
15 further instances are not listed. All roll-call votes.
Unlinked but matchable
7 counterpart entries in Martin Günther's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung” - likely Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung (5 counterpart entries)
- “DGB” - likely Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund (2 counterpart entries)
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.
