European elections in Italy 2014
The European elections in Italy 2014 took place on May 25th as part of the EU- wide European elections 2014 . In Italy , 73 of the 751 seats in the European Parliament are allocated. The polling stations were open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Electoral system
The election was based on proportional representation , with parties that previously had no seat in the European Parliament having to collect 30,000 support signatures.
The country is divided into five constituencies : Italia north-occidentale (north-west Italy: Piedmont , Aostatal , Liguria , Lombardy ), Italia north-orientale ( north- east Italy: Veneto , Trentino-South Tyrol , Friuli-Venezia Giulia , Emilia-Romagna ), Italia centrale ( Central Italy: Tuscany , Umbria , Marche , Latium ), Italia meridionale (southern Italy: Abruzzo , Molise , Campania , Apulia , Basilicata , Calabria ) and Italia insulare (islands: Sicily , Sardinia ). Article 2 of the "Law on the Election of Members of the European Parliament" in conjunction with the "Decree of April 1, 2009" specifies a fixed number of seats for these electoral districts. However, due to the two-stage allocation of seats in accordance with Articles 21 and 22, these figures are not adhered to. In a first step, the so-called upper allocation , the nationwide party votes are added together. With the help of the Hare-Niemeyer procedure with rounded Hare quota , the total number of seats on a state list is determined. In the so-called sub - allotments for each party, the seats to which a party is entitled are allocated to the constituencies using the same procedure. Accordingly, the number of seats in the districts depends on the number of valid votes in the respective districts.
According to Article 12 of the Italian electoral law for European elections, minority parties can join a national party. Furthermore, according to Article 22, a minority party is guaranteed a seat if its strongest candidate can garner at least 50,000 votes.
