EU Election Summary: A Look at Election Night Events Instead of Stargazing

The 2024 election (EP2024) will be a major event taking place in the future. - EU Election Summary: A Look at Election Night Events Instead of Stargazing

European politicians have been fighting for votes in the lead-up to election day for weeks now. Now, it's finally time to find out who wins - polling stations are opening across the continent, starting with the Netherlands yesterday. On Sunday, it'll be Germany's turn to cast their votes.

The European Parliament can't release preliminary results until 11:00 p.m. on election night, as the polls in Italy will close then. Until then, they'll just be giving estimates based on pre- and post-election surveys.

Expect the predictions to start rolling in around 6:15 p.m. on Sunday (June 9). The first calculations will be a compilation of the available national estimates. They'll give us an idea of how the seats will be distributed in the new parliament, but it's only based on estimates and surveys before the elections.

We're not sure when exactly we'll get estimates from which countries, but based on past experiences, they could start coming in as early as 6:00 p.m. Expect the French's first estimates around 8:00 p.m.

Estimates for Germany will be based on surveys after people have voted. Institutions and broadcasters in Germany will start releasing these first estimates at 6:30 p.m. or later.

There'll also be preliminary results published between 11:15 p.m. and 11:30 p.m. from some EU countries. We're also anticipating a second forecast for seat distribution at around the same time. These results will be updated whenever the Parliament's offices receive information from national authorities. The final update of the estimates is expected around 1:00 a.m. on Monday (June 10).

A preliminary result for Germany should be out in the early hours of Monday morning on June 10. The final result? That'll be announced on July 3. And after the constitutive session of the Parliament on July 16, we'll have one last update of the results, reflecting the final changes and the composition of the European Parliament.
