Elections to the European Parliament will
be held in the 27 member states of the
European Union (EU) between 4 and 7 June
2009.[1][2] 736 Members of the European
Parliament (MEPs) will be elected by propor-
tional
representation to represent some
500,000,000[3] Europeans, making these the
biggest trans-national elections in history.
Overview
Slightly more than three quarters of the
MEPs will be elected on Sunday 7 June, but
because of traditional polling days varying
from country to country according to local
custom, the other quarter will be elected in
the three preceding days: in the United King-
dom, for instance, voting will take place on 4
June, a Thursday;[4]
