European elections, 6-9 June 2024
European elections will take place from Thursday to Sunday, 6 - 9 June 2024.
If you are an EU citizen, you have the right to vote in these elections, together with around 400 million Europeans. And your vote matters.
Use your vote to decide what the European Union should focus on over the next five years. To help change the world you live in and to tackle the global challenges that surround us. To have a say on the future of European democracy.
Democracy is a precious gift passed on to us from previous generations. They aspired towards it and fought for it. We should never take democracy for granted. It is up to us to maintain it, to make it stronger and pass it on to the generations to come.
Because the more people vote, the stronger democracy becomes.
On 6-9 June 2024: Use your vote or others will decide for you.
