Ústne vysvetlenia hlasovania

  Seán Kelly (PPE). – Mr President, the report provides an important framework to convey Parliament's key political messages to strengthen the European dimension of the 2024 European elections, and the process leading up to the election of the President of the Commission. I was happy to vote in favour of this report, as, among other reasons, it introduces measures to facilitate the access to voting for mobile citizens and citizens with disabilities. This is grounded in the principles of inclusivity and equal representation. It aims to ensure that all eligible citizens, regardless of their mobility or physical abilities, can exercise their right to vote.

Strengthening the European dimension of elections is a way to enhance the democratic legitimacy of the European Parliament. By fostering a more direct link between citizens and European institutions, voter engagement and trust in the democratic process can be increased. I also welcome the defeat of the motion to have transnational lists. We don't want a House of Commons of MEPs and a House of Lords of MEPs.

  Predsedajúci. – To bolo posledné vysvetlenie hlasovania na dnešok.
