With the upcoming European Parliament elections less than 4 months away, European citizens are being encouraged to register their interests in voting. During these elections, citizens will elect new Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) who will ultimately be representing their interests. As such, it is important that one is well informed prior to making ones’ decision.  

In order to provide information and also generate interest amongst European citizens, the European Parliament set up a campaign thistimeimvoting.eu. The campaign, calls upon European citizens to spread the word amongst communities at a local and national level on the importance of exercising their democratic right to vote. Additionally, the campaign helps individuals to learn about various events and activities that are taking place in their respective country and also across Europe.  

Apart from this, in order for one to get more information on what the EU is doing on a individual level, one can visit the what Europe does for me portal. The website presents a series of short notes on how EU policies have made a difference in ones day-to-day lives. 

Thus it is up to you to use these tools, so that on May 25, 2019 you will be able to make an informed decision.
