Alegerile pentru Parlamentul European

Alegerile în Uniunea Europeană au loc la fiecare cinci ani prin sufragiu universal pentru persoanele adulte. În Parlamentul European sunt aleşi 785 parlamentari europeni, în mod direct, încă din 1979. Nicio altă instituţie europeană nu se alege în mod direct, deşi Consiliul Uniunii Europene şi Consiliul European sunt compuse în principal din oficiali aleşi la nivel naţional de fiecare ţară membră a Uniunii Europene.
