Description

Voters were seen arriving at a polling station in Berlin on Sunday morning, as the European Parliament elections got underway.

The European parliamentary elections will see more than 512 million people from 28 member states elect a total of 751 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) between 23-26 May.

Brexit and the rise of right-wing populism loom large over the bloc’s ninth parliamentary elections since 1979, while turnout has steadily dwindled since the first elections, from 62 per cent in the inaugural elections to 43 per cent in 2014.

Turnout at the last elections in 2014 was 48.10 percent in Germany.
