Voting starts in the Netherlands for European polls.
The initial reports will be released following the closure of polling stations at 9 p.m. The final results for the entire EU are anticipated on Sunday night when voting stations in Germany and other EU nations have shut down. The Berlin coalition headed by Federal Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) views this election as a gauge of public sentiment ahead of the state elections in the east of the country and the federal elections in 2025. Surveys suggest a setback for the SPD, Greens, and FDP while a surge for the CDU/CSU and the AfD is being predicted. A shift to the right on a European scale is also anticipated.
