The EU elections 6 – 9 June

The European Parliament is made up of 705 directly elected members representing all of the 27 EU countries.

The Parliament decides on EU legislation, including the multiannual budget, together with the Council of the European Union (composed of the governments).

Due to demographic changes in the EU, the Council decided in 2023 to increase the number of Members of the European Parliament to 720 (+15) in the next European Parliament.

Between 6 and 9 June 2024, 370 million Europeans can vote to elect the members of the next European Parliament. Each member state has a certain number of seats in the parliament.
