European Parliament elections, how are they organized and who can vote?

From June 6 to tomorrow, June 9, approximately 373 million citizens of the 27 member states of the European Union have been invited to vote in the elections for the European Parliament.

The European Parliament has as its primary function the negotiation of EU laws with members of the member governments. Unlike the parliaments of the member countries, the European Parliament does not have the right to propose laws, but it can negotiate the laws proposed by the European Commission.

The European Parliament also approves the EU budget and votes on international agreements, as well as on the expansion of the European bloc.

The European Parliament consists of 720 MEPs and elections are held every five years. Citizens over the age of 18 can vote in 21 member states. In Belgium, Germany, Austria and Malta, the minimum age is 16. Citizens of Greece who turn 17 in the election year will also be able to vote, while in Hungary, married individuals can vote regardless of age. Voters can choose individual candidates or candidates of political parties, depending on the state. Some member states, including Germany, determine that only members of political parties or figures associated with politics can be nominated for the European Parliament elections.

Six out of 10 EU citizens have expressed interest in voting in these elections. Polls predict that out of 720 seats in the European Parliament, the European People's Party group - which belongs to the center right - is expected to win 180 seats, the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats - which belongs to the center left - is expected to win 138 seats, while Renew Europe, the centrist liberal party, is expected to win 86 seats. Conservatives and European Reformists are expected to win 75 seats, while Identity and Democracy is expected to win 68 seats. Other smaller parties are expected to win a combined 173 seats.
