Close vote analysis

The margin was 9 votes. 156 MEPs did not vote.

Could absences have changed the outcome? The number of absent MEPs (156) was larger than the 9-vote margin, so absences were numerically significant.

Groups whose absences exceeded the margin

EPPhad 50 absent MEPs (margin was 9)
S&Dhad 30 absent MEPs (margin was 9)
PfEhad 16 absent MEPs (margin was 9)
Renewhad 14 absent MEPs (margin was 9)
ECRhad 14 absent MEPs (margin was 9)
Greens-EFAhad 12 absent MEPs (margin was 9)
