This briefing considers where electoral conditionality could be included in European Union (EU) relations with third countries and offers three viable options, namely as part of: direct budget support; General Scheme of Preferences Plus (GSP+); and the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument-Global Europe (NDICI-GE). In all three cases, not only would electoral conditionality incentivise partner countries to adhere to electoral recommendations, but also encourage them ...

National provisions regarding the right to vote of citizens living abroad are far from being uniform in Europe.

A prominent French public figure beyond her years in office, she leaves an important and enduring legacy. This is an update of an 'At a glance' note from July 2017.

Le norme applicabili alle elezioni europee non sono uniformi in tutta l'Unione. Gli Stati membri applicano norme elettorali nazionali diverse, anche se tutti devono rispettare i principi comuni stabiliti nell'Atto elettorale europeo del 1976. Il Parlamento prevede di sottoporre a votazione nella tornata di maggio I un'iniziativa legislativa che propone di abrogare l'atto elettorale europeo con un nuovo regolamento del Consiglio che armonizza ulteriormente le norme applicabili alle elezioni europee ...

This concerns an estimated 11 million EU citizens of voting age (post-Brexit data). Even if Member States have successfully transposed both directives, voter turnout among mobile citizens remains low compared to nationals. Similarly, only a fraction of ...
