EP elections, today is the last day where most EU countries vote

Today is the last day of the European Parliament elections.

About 360 million citizens of the 27 member states of the European Union had the opportunity to vote in the elections for the European Parliament.

The elections for the members of the European Parliament started on June 6 and lasted for 4 days, while today (June 9) is also the last day of the elections, where most EU countries are expected to vote.

The Dutch voted on Thursday 6 June, followed by Ireland on 7 June and then Latvia, Malta and Slovakia on 8 June. The Czech Republic and Italy voted for two days: June 7-8 and 8-9, respectively.

The minimum voting age varies, but for most European countries it is 18. For the first time in Germany, even minors are allowed to vote, as the country's voting age for the European elections has been lowered from 18 to 16. This has increased the number of eligible voters in Germany from around 61.5 million in 2019 to just under 65 million this year.

 In total, there are about 720 members of the European Parliament (EP) will be chosen among thousands of candidates.

The European Parliament is the only body of the European Union that represents the citizens of the member countries. Its primary function involves negotiating EU laws with member governments, which are represented by the European Council. The Parliament also approves the EU budget and votes on international agreements, as well as on the expansion of the European bloc. This institution has supervisory responsibilities, including the power to approve or reject the appointment of the president of the European Commission, a position currently held by Germany's Ursula von der Leyen, and of the commissioners.
