European Parliamentary Elections

As the UK left the European Union on 31 January 2020, European Parliamentary elections will no longer take place in the UK.

Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) were elected under a proportional representation system on a fixed five year term of office. In the UK electors had one vote to elect all of their local MEPs. Each party put forward a list of candidates, called a Regional List, and electors voted for one of these lists or for an independent candidate. The parties were then allocated a number of MEPs according to their share of the vote. Bath & North East Somerset Council was part of the South West Region, which elected 6 members. 

The last European Parliamentary Election was held on Thursday 23 May 2019.
