Sander Smit represents the Netherlands in the European Parliament as a member of the Christian Democratic Appeal (CDA), a centre-right party that has traditionally been one of the major political forces in Dutch politics and part of numerous coalition governments. Smit sits with the European People's Party (EPP), the Parliament's largest political group, which promotes Christian democratic values, free market economics, and European integration while emphasizing subsidiarity and traditional social values. The EPP typically supports business-friendly policies, strong transatlantic relations, and a measured approach to EU expansion and reform. His work in the Parliament reflects the CDA's commitment to Christian democratic principles and the Netherlands' generally pro-European but pragmatic approach to EU integration.

Methodology
Attendance is calculated based on roll-call votes in plenary sessions of the European Parliament. Committee votes are excluded. Abstaining counts as present; not voting counts as absent. Sittings for which the Parliament officially excused a Member (Rule 162, illness, family, official mission, or maternity) are credited, not counted as absences. Notable votes are selected based on significance, close outcomes, and high participation.
