An MP who changed group counts in each group for the months they voted with it. “Per MP per month” = count / (days in office ÷ 30.4).

How MPs are distributed

Registrations: MPs with at least 10 sittings in the roll-call data. All MPs with a mandate, including partial ones.

What the numbers mean

Registered: the MP is registered as present at least once in the sitting (codes “П” and “Р” in the roll-call data). Registration is for the quorum: a group may deliberately not register while in the chamber, so this is not a complete measure of presence.
Vote participation: votes cast “for”, “against” and “abstain” out of all votes in which the MP is on the roll-call list. A vote not cast does not distinguish absence from being present without voting.
Unexcused absences: the entries in the National Assembly's register. It only holds absences marked as unexcused; excused ones (illness, official travel) are not published.
