Ormai ci siamo: tra il 6 e il 9 giugno di quest'anno, milioni di cittadini di tutta Europa saranno chiamati alle urne per determinare il futuro dell'Unione europea. Il Parlamento europeo è l'unico organo dell'Unione eletto direttamente dai cittadini e le elezioni europee sono uno dei più grandi eventi democratici al mondo. In questo episodio vedremo più da vicino come funziona il sistema di voto e scopriremo insieme come ogni voto può fare la differenza.

Elezioni europee: come funziona il sistema di voto?

European elections represent a crucial moment: they give EU citizens a say in the political direction of the European Union.

Echoing the 2019 motto 'This time I'm voting', the 2024 one might be: 'I did it again!' The 2024 European elections could be a turning point for youth engagement for several reasons

Gender-balanced representation among the decision-makers of the European Union is an important step towards full realisation of the principle of equality between women and men enshrined in the EU Treaties. The Union has made steady and significant progress, starting from a very low presence of women among EU Commissioners and Members of the European Parliament at the time when those institutions were created. The European Parliament is today one of the world's most gender-balanced representative assemblies, but there are still significant divergences between EU countries.

Election Days - 23-26 May 2019

Election observation is a highly visible demonstration of the European Union's commitment to supporting democracy and promoting human rights around the world.

It contributes to strengthening democratic institutions, building public confidence in electoral processes, helping to deter fraud, intimidation and violence, especially in fragile, post-conflict or developing regions. It also complements other key EU foreign policy objectives, particularly peace-building.

International election observation

Observing Election Day is one of the principal ways the European Parliament supports democracy.

Because MEPs are the EU's only directly elected representatives, their contribution is essential. With personal experience of campaigns, issues of financing and the work of representing citizens, MEPs bring political legitimacy to observation missions.

Over more than three decades, the European Parliament has observed several hundred elections. Every year, MEPs travel to as many as a dozen countries across the world.
