Owing to the COVID-19 pandemic, a remote voting system had been introduced (see Bureau Decision of 20 March 2020 supplementing its Decision of 3 May 2004 on rules governing voting). The Members who voted are listed in the document 'Results of roll-call votes', which is annexed to the Minutes of the sitting and available on Parliament's website.
