Elections to the European Parliament will be held in all
member states of the European Union (EU) between 22 and 25 May 2014, as decided
unanimously by a decision the Council of the European Union. It will be the
eighth Europe-wide election to the European Parliament since the first direct
elections in 1979.
The 2014 elections will be held in late May instead of
early June as had been the case with previous EP elections. The elections were
brought forward in order to provide more time for the election of a president
of the European Commission, and because they would otherwise have coincided
with the Pentecost weekend which falls during school holidays in many member
states.
