Roll-call voting record

Recorded votes only. Parliament held 6,412 roll-call votes while Nils Ušakovs held the seat, 606 of them the final vote on a text.

Unlinked but matchable

1 counterpart entry in Nils Ušakovs's declarations appears to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:

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.
