Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,987 roll-call votes while Sirpa Pietikäinen held the seat, 558 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 558 final votes held while seated.
With and against the group
On the 487 final texts where more than half of EPP members casting a vote went one way, and Sirpa Pietikäinen 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
91 counterpart entries in Sirpa Pietikäinen's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Demos Helsinki Oy” - likely Demos Helsinki Oy (3 counterpart entries)
- “AFME” - likely Association for Financial Markets in Europe (2 counterpart entries)
- “Global Sepsis Alliance” - likely Global Sepsis Alliance (2 counterpart entries)
These are the 3 most frequent matches, covering 7 of the 91 entries; the other 84 are not listed.
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.
