MNI POLITICAL RISK - European Parliament Election Preview

EU

Voting is underway in the multi-national elections to the European Parliament (EP). Across the EU’s 27 member states over 361mn voters will be eligible to cast their ballots to elect the 720 members of the European Parliament (MEPs), making it the second-largest democratic exercise on Earth behind only the Indian general election. The election in the Netherlands takes place on 6 June, with other member states holding theirs on subsequent days until 9 June, when member states representing nearly 90% of the EU’s population cast their ballots.

  • In this preview we outline how the election works across the EU’s member states and when we can expect results to come through; an explainer of the political groups that sit within the EP; an analysis of the potential impact of the election, a chartpack of opinion polling in the leadup to the vote; and a comprehensive slate of sell-side views on the elections.
