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. Notable votes are selected based on significance, close outcomes, and high participation.
Note: Vice-Presidents of the European Parliament do not vote when chairing sessions, which may affect their attendance percentage.
