European Parliament Elections 6-9 June 2024

The 2024 elections of the European Parliament are around the corner. EU citizens can vote across EU countries between 6 and 9 June 2024. The European Parliament is an influential voice in debates on European frameworks on culture and (higher) education and has the power to adopt laws that affect our sectors (such as the AI act).  In addition to this, they approve the EU budget, the appointment of the President of the European Commission and the various European Commissioners. Not to be underestimated!  

To help ELIA members in the EU to access and navigate these elections, we have collected some useful resources which can be used to find out more about how and where to vote, as well as to better inform your voting choice. Feel free to reshare these resources within your institutions to spread voting awareness.
