Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Pascal Arimont 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 498 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Pascal Arimont 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
32 counterpart entrys in Pascal Arimont's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “European Fusion Association” - likely European Fusion Association (2 counterpart entrys)
- “FEGRA asbl” - likely FEGRA asbl (2 counterpart entrys)
- “ABB E-Mobility” - likely ABB E-Mobility (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.
