Interface VotingStatistics

Voting statistics for an MEP.

Aggregated metrics on an MEP's voting behavior in plenary sessions, calculated from roll-call votes. Statistics include vote distribution (for/against/abstain) and attendance rate. Used for transparency and accountability reporting.

Calculation Period: Typically current parliamentary term Update Frequency: After each plenary session (monthly) Data Source: EP API /meps/{id}/voting-statistics

Note: Only includes recorded roll-call votes, not show-of-hands votes. Attendance rate may differ from physical attendance as it only counts voting participation.

VotingStatistics

Example

const statistics: VotingStatistics = {
  totalVotes: 1250,
  votesFor: 800,
  votesAgainst: 350,
  abstentions: 100,
  attendanceRate: 92 // 92% participation
};

// Calculate vote percentages
const forPercentage = (statistics.votesFor / statistics.totalVotes * 100).toFixed(1);
console.log(`Voted FOR: ${forPercentage}%`);

Example

// Low participation example
const lowParticipation: VotingStatistics = {
  totalVotes: 500,
  votesFor: 300,
  votesAgainst: 150,
  abstentions: 50,
  attendanceRate: 45 // Only 45% of possible votes
};
