European Parliament votes · European Parliament plenary votes
European Parliament adopted a text it titles “General budget of the European Union for the financial year 2027 – all sections”
On 21 October 2026 the European Parliament recorded a final vote as adopted, with 400 in favour, 189 against and 84 abstentions.
673 votes recorded in total, by electronic roll-call vote.
Identified as the final vote by Parliament’s own marker, “Motion for a resolution (as a whole)”.
This is the count Parliament recorded, and nothing more: it does not establish
what the text does, how any member voted, what majority was required, or that
anything is now in force.
Parliament recorded the result as adopted, with 400 votes in favour, 189 against and 84 abstentions — 673 votes recorded in total.

The wording in quotation marks above is the title Parliament gave the document, reproduced so that the record can be identified. It is not this service's description of the subject, and quoting it is not an endorsement of any claim it contains.
This record establishes that Parliament took this decision on 21 October 2026 and what the recorded counts were. It does not establish that any statement made in the document is correct, and it does not mean that legislation has entered into force: a vote in Parliament is one step in a longer procedure.

Assembled from the source record listed under evidence.
What this record does not establish
Final plenary votes on a text as a whole, where Parliament's own record identifies the document explicitly and reports both an outcome and aggregate counts. Amendment votes, split and separate votes, procedural motions, votes taken by show of hands without recorded counts, and sittings where no single whole-text vote can be identified with certainty are all excluded, and the excluded cases are the majority. How individual members voted is discarded at ingestion and never stored, so this service cannot answer questions about it. A document's title is reproduced as Parliament's title, to identify the record; it is not this service's description of the subject, and a vote does not establish that anything the document says is correct.
