More than 450 million European citizens are expected to vote from 6 to 9 June to decide the composition of the European Parliament, in what is the largest democratic election in the world after India.
Voting in the European elections is open to European Union citizens around the world, including Australia, however, each of the 27 voting member countries dictates the date, or dates, that eligible voters must be registered and when the ballot will take place within the period.
That will mean approving the president of the European Commission, currently Germany’s Ursula von der Leyen, who is seeking a second term. Far-right parties are becoming increasingly popular in much of Europe, winning elections in Italy and the Netherlands, and leading the polls in France, Austria and Belgium.
