The European elections in Spain in 2014 took place on May 25, 2014. It was part of the EU- wide European elections in 2014 , with 54 of the 751 seats in the European Parliament in Spain .
Electoral system
The European election takes place in Spain after the proportional system in the D'Hondt method . The whole of Spain forms a single constituency, no threshold clause is applied.
Campaigning parties and lists
The Spanish party system is characterized by a large number of regional parties . These parties can make up the majority in individual regions, but across Spain only achieve results of 3% or less. In order to increase their chances of receiving seats in the European elections - in which, in contrast to national elections, the provinces are not counted as constituencies , but the whole country is a single constituency - the regional and other small parties form joint electoral lists. However, these are generally only alliances of convenience that are renegotiated between the parties before each individual European elections. Although the parties on a list usually have certain programmatic overlaps, they often belong to different European parties at the European level .
To approve a list, the supporting signatures must be submitted by 50 elected members of the European, national or regional parliaments or by 15,000 eligible voters. A total of 39 lists were approved. The following lists were approved by the signature of 50 MPs:
