Focusing on changes in abstention compared to previous European elections, Lithuania, Greece, and Spain saw the largest increases this year compared to 2019.

Greece ranked 11th on the list of countries with the highest abstention rates in European elections. Croatia topped the list, with an abstention rate of 78.65%, followed by Lithuania (71.65%), Bulgaria (66.21%), and Latvia (66.18%).

🗳️ #Abstention from European #elections remained essentially stable in the EU as a whole compared to 2019. But in #Greece 🇬🇷, it increased by 17.3 percentage points, reaching 58.61%. @iMEdD_org collected turnout data in the latest European elections 🧵

The contextual factors @Podcrto have included in the analysis are the duration of each country's EU membership and its geographical location. There is a marked difference between countries of North-Western Europe and Central-Eastern Europe, and b/w newer and older member states.

Among the systemic factors linked to abstention from voting is the electoral system. Which EU countries offered a direct choice among candidates, and which had an under-18 age limit, compulsory participation and electronic voting?

Slovakia ranks first in terms of non-participation, with an average of more than 80% of voters not participating in the last three European Parliament elections. It is followed by Czechia, Croatia, Slovenia, Poland, and Portugal.

Low voter turnout means that the lives of the majority of a country’s population and - in the case of European Parliament elections - the lives of people in other European countries, are affected by the decisions of a small minority of the population.
