Berlin (d.de) – The next elections to the European Parliament next year will be held in Germany on Sunday, 9 June 2024. For the elections, the Council of the European Union sets a period of several days, within which voting must take place in all EU member states. For the European elections, this period is between 6 and 9 June 2024. Since Germany’s European Elections Act stipulates that German members of the European Parliament must be elected on a Sunday or public holiday, the only possible date is 9 June 2024.
In Germany, all German nationals, as well as all citizens of an EU state who are officially resident in Germany, are entitled to vote in the European Parliament elections. For the first time, EU citizens who have reached the age of 16 on the day of the elections will also be able to vote. There are more than 66 million eligible voters in Germany; around 350 million people are eligible to vote in the European Union as a whole.
