In the rest of the EU countries, elections will take place on Sunday.

The procedure provides for the election of a proportional type only, provides for a method or an election of parties, or a system of a single transmitted vote, which makes it possible to be elected, small parties and individual candidates, and provides a fairly wide range of political positions among deputies.

During the European elections, most of the EU countries act as a single constituency. The five member states of the Union – Belgium, Great Britain, Ireland, Italy, and France – divide their territories into several constituencies.

Earlier, the “Journalist” reported that after the elections to the European Parliament an emergency summit of the European Union will take place.
