2024 European elections logo
The 2024 European elections website contains relevant information for citizens on how to exercise their right to vote, the electoral calendar and the different candidates standing for election, among other issues.
The website facilitates user-friendly navigation through the different contents, which are presented in four main sections: general information, political formations, board members and accessibility.
This portal will resolve any doubts voters may have regarding the modalities of voting in person or by post, opening times of polling stations, personal identification documents for exercising their right to vote and who may be called to man a polling station.
The website also contains useful information for people with disabilities so that they can exercise their right to vote in an active, conscious, free and voluntary manner. In this regard, it should be borne in mind that the administration must respect the right to equal opportunities for persons with disabilities in terms of accessing premises and polling stations, and their right to non-discrimination.
Access can be gained directly through a highlight on the website of the Ministry of Home Affairs, and will be available in Spanish, Catalan, Galician, Basque, Valencian and English.
The portal complies with the current regulations on accessibility of public sector websites and applications for mobile devices, as set out in Royal Decree 1112/2018 of 7 September, and in Directive 2016/2102 of 26 October 2016, and complies with the accessibility standards of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1).
In addition to the website, Tuesday also sees the launch of the official logo for the European elections on 9 June 2024.
