Voters across the European Union are going to the polls on the final day of voting for the European parliamentary elections to choose their representatives for the next five-year term.
An election commission worker prepares a polling station in Bankya, on the outskirts of Sofia, Sunday, June 9, 2024. Voters in Bulgaria are going to the polls on Sunday in national and European elections that have been overshadowed by political instability, economic inequality and growing concern over the war in nearby Ukraine.
The war just across the border in Ukraine has created fears that if Russia were to prevail, Poland and neighboring nations that were once under Moscow’s control could be targeted next. On the minds of some Poles is the nature of the EU itself. In a nation under foreign rule for long spans in the past, some Poles fear that the 27-member bloc is taking away too much power from individual nations.
Preliminary results are expected Monday in the voting for the 240 seats in the National Assembly and for 17 members in the European Parliament.
