European voters have begun heading to the polls to choose lawmakers to represent them at the European Parliament for the next five years. In all, 400 million people in 28 nations will be voting. Here's a look at that massive exercise in democracy, a multinational ballot by the European Union's only democratically elected institution.Europe's voting marathon kicked off Thursday in the Netherlands and in Britain.
The assembly's powers are slowly growing. It's helped to improve air flight safety in Europe, cut down plastics use, end mobile telephone roaming charges within the bloc, boost data privacy, set climate change ambitions and reduce carbon dioxide emissions from cars.
How Europe handles migration is a very significant concern for voters in Italy, Hungary, Poland and elsewhere. Economic concerns often influence voters, and Britain's future in the EU looks like it will be a factor again. Among other mainstream parties, the liberal ALDE alliance is expected to capture 76 seats, eight more than in 2014, while the Greens could rank fourth with some 57 seats, up from 52. However, the liberals now appear set to create a new group with French President Emmanuel Macron's centrist party.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras speaks May 24 in Athens at the last pre-election rally ahead of the European Parliament election. Europe's mainstream political groups appear set to hold control over the assembly but, depending on the results, they could be pressured into uncomfortable compromises or awkward alliances in order to pass EU legislation.
