The 2024 European Elections took place between 6-9 June. Thank you for voting!
The 2024 European elections were an exciting time for everyone, including young people who were voting for the first time.
The European elections provided an opportunity to vote for Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) who would represent your interests.
In most countries, you must be 18 to vote, but if you live in Austria, Belgium, Germany or Malta, the voting age is 16 – while in Greece it’s 17.
You used your voice!
It was important to get involved. You could join debates, meet decision-makers, and support initiatives. Your voice mattered and voting was one way to shape the future of Europe.
After the elections, there are even more ways to stay involved, and follow the work of the MEP who you voted for!
