How does it work?

Elections for the European Parliament take place every five years.

The European Parliament represents people living in the 28 member countries of the European Union (EU). There are 751 members of the European Parliament (MEPs). Of those, 73 represent the UK.

In the UK, there are currently 12 European electoral regions and each region is represented by between three and 10 MEPs.

When you voted on Thursday, you had one vote to elect all of the MEPs for your region.

Each party puts forward a list of candidates – known as a regional list – and you would have voted for one of these lists or for an individual candidate standing as an independent.

The number of MEPs that are elected from each party to represent a region depends on the overall share of votes that each party receives.
