European elections 2024

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The European elections in 2024 will be the tenth direct election to the European Parliament . It is expected to take place in spring 2024 in the member states of the European Union .

All 705 MPs are expected to be elected in the European elections. The number of mandates to be chosen will therefore decrease by 46 (from 751 to 705) due to the United Kingdom's exit from the EU .

Election mode

According to Art. 223 TFEU , the European Council specifies uniform provisions for European elections . For example, proportional representation is prescribed as the electoral system , but the precise form is left to the Member States. It is likely that in the 10th European elections, as in the previous elections, different regulations on the threshold clause will be applied in the individual states , e.g. B. in Germany no threshold clause, in Austria 4%.

Distribution of the seats among the member countries

The number of MEPs to be elected per member state and possibly via the EU-wide lists is determined by a decision of the European Council on the initiative of the European Parliament. The principle of degressive proportionality applies , according to which larger countries generally have more MPs than smaller countries, while smaller countries have more MPs per inhabitant than larger ones . According to Article 14, Paragraph 2 of the EU Treaty , between 6 (smallest countries - Malta, Cyprus, Luxembourg) and 96 members (largest country - Germany) must be elected in each country.

The European elections in the individual EU member states

The following dates are set for the 27 national elections, taking into account national electoral habits. The Seats column contains the number of mandates given to this country. It should be noted that there could be modifications in the individual states before the election.

Forecasts

Traditionally, no Europe-wide polls are created for the European elections. Various institutes and sites form a projection of the distribution of seats following the 2024 election based on national surveys. As a rule, the projections relate to the existing parliamentary groups and have not yet taken into account any possible dissolution or the formation of new parliamentary groups.

Note: The upper value shows the number of seats, the lower value in brackets the percentage of votes.
