The Voting System

eb-gyoza — Fri, 15 May 2009 10:20:46 +0100

In England, Scotland and Wales the voting system for the European elections is proportional representation - regional closed list. This means that political parties put forward names of candidates in rank order, the number of candidates being no more than the number of seats allowed for each region.

The ballot paper lists the parties' names (and their candidates under the party name), and any independent candidates. Put a cross next to the party or independent candidate that you wish to vote for.
