Roll-call voting record
Recorded votes only. Parliament held 5,568 roll-call votes while Waldemar Buda 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.

With and against the group
On the 409 final texts where more than half of ECR members casting a vote went one way, and Waldemar Buda 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
2 counterpart entrys in Waldemar Buda's declarations appear to match an EU Transparency Register entry without being linked in the declaration:
- “Corteva Agriscience Poland” - likely Corteva Agriscience International SARL (1 counterpart entry)
- “Polska Organizacja Gazu Płynnego” - likely Polska Organizacja Gazu Płynnego (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.
