Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Mārtiņš Staķis 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 521 final texts where more than half of Greens/EFA members casting a vote went one way, and Mārtiņš Staķis 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
5 counterpart entrys in Mārtiņš Staķis's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “China Risks Limited” - likely China Risks Limited (1 counterpart entry)
- “European Logistics Platform” - likely European Logistics Platform (1 counterpart entry)
- “Latvian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LTRK)” - likely Latvijas Tirdzniecības un rūpniecības kamera (1 counterpart entry)
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.
