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

Votes taken by show of hands or by secret ballot are not recorded by name and are absent here.

On the 535 final texts where more than half of ESN members casting a vote went one way, and Petar Volgin 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.
