The European Union Election runs Thursday to Sunday. They're held every five years across the 27-member bloc. This year marks the 10th parliamentary election since the first polls in 1979, and the first after Brexit.
The vote takes place from 6-9 June. Initial results can only be revealed on the evening of 9 June, once polling stations have closed in all member states.
UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Heathe du Plessis-Allan “It’s the second-biggest democratic election in the world, after India.”
Grey said “We are expecting this result to come in favour of potentially far-right partes – in France Belgium and Italy.”
