How to read a European Parliament roll-call vote
The plenary voting files connect the names of members with the question put to the chamber.
The European Parliament publishes plenary voting documents by sitting. Roll-call results show how individual members voted when a roll call was used.
A reader can start with the sitting date and then match the vote to the item or amendment in the voting list. That step matters when members consider several amendments and a final text in succession. A vote on one amendment can have a different result from the vote on the completed proposal.
