The 2029 European Parliament election is scheduled to be held no later than 2029.[2][3] It will be the eleventh election for the European Parliament since the first direct elections in 1979.
Background
[edit]In the 2024 election, the European People's Party Group led by Ursula von der Leyen won a plurality of seats with 188 out of 720. On 18 July 2024, von der Leyen was re-elected president of the European Commission in a secret ballot by the European Parliament, with 401 votes in favour, 284 against, and 22 cast blank or invalid votes.[4]
Date of the election
[edit]Under the Act concerning the election of the members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage, elections to the European Parliament shall be held by the Member States on a date within the same period starting on a Thursday morning and ending on the following Sunday.[5] Elections take place in the corresponding period of the previous election in the last year of the five-year period,[2] normally in the first full week of June.[6]
Electoral system
[edit]Elections to the European Parliament are regulated by the Treaty on European Union, Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and the Act concerning the election of the members of the European Parliament by direct universal suffrage.[7]
Apportionment
[edit]The apportionment of seats within the European Parliament to each member state of the European Union is set out by the EU treaties. The distribution of seats is "degressively proportional" to the population of the member states.[8] Since 2024, the European Parliament is composed of 720 seats, with a minimum of six and a maximum of 96 per member state.[9][10]
Voting system
[edit]Elections are conducted by direct universal suffrage by proportional representation using either a list system or single transferable vote.[11] The national electoral threshold may not exceed five per cent of votes cast.[12]
