This article is part of a series on the politics and government of the European Union
Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are elected by the population of the member states of the European Union (EU), divided into constituencies.
Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, Poland and the United Kingdom are divided into constituencies, while the other member states have a single national constituency. In Germany, political parties are entitled to present lists of candidates either at Länder or national level.
Currently, all member states hold elections to the European Parliament (EP) using various forms of proportional representation.[note 1]
The number of representatives per head of population varies widely across constituencies. For example, 77,000 German speaking Belgians have one representative, while Greater London have one seat for every 980,000 people.
Data are for the 2014–2019 legislature.
