Text
The text voted on.
AI: What this vote decides Written by AI from the official text — check the source
Parliament adopted a report on the reform of the European Electoral Act, focusing on hurdles to ratification and implementation in member states.
The report concludes that many existing provisions are implemented, but optional measures are often not, and some mandatory ones are applied unevenly.
It calls for further Europeanisation of electoral rules, including accessibility, common deadlines, preventing double voting, and enhancing European political parties' role.
AI: The text in short Written by AI from the official text — check the source
This report on the reform of the European Electoral Act examines the hurdles to ratification and implementation of Council Decision 2018/994, which is not yet in force because Spain has not ratified it.
