One chip per part-session: sitting days, then roll-call votes recorded. A session spanning two months is shown in the month it opened. A blank month means no part-session opened that month; the Parliament traditionally does not sit in August. The roll-call record starts in July 2024; earlier months fall outside its coverage.
Final agendas (OJ) are published by the Parliament shortly before each part-session and may change until the session opens. Last checked 27 Jul 2026. Vote recaps: HowTheyVote.eu (ODbL, attribution) / European Parliament — roll-call votes only, 2024-07-16 → 2026-07-09.
