One of the best attendances in Romania...I think the best in last 20 years link

[Gianlu33 3,574]

SPD 

[Federer91 2,140]

Don't know what the record is for the lowest turn-out, but i'm sure we can take it.  Around 17:00 the result is 26% turn-out.  EU elections are so far away from the people here. They know, that very, very little of what happens in the EU, can solve their problems, so why bother. Holiday weekend, good weather, many tourism in and out of the country, these elections were in the back-burner.

I always find it sort of interesting or 'funny' that the lowest turnouts in European elections are usually in countries of which 75% of the people here (if not more) probably don't even know they're part of the EU  Sort of seems to work both ways

I suppose so.  People are just not that motivated for EU elections. Even the parties don't give there all, like in the local/national elections. We will have 17 people, if it's 30 or 70%, doesn't matter.

Meanwhile a great turnout here in Denmark, where anti-EU is looking at a massive defeat!

And Radikale Venstre looks at 2 mandates for the first time ever (well, as election result)
