If the 27 EU member states give their unanimous approval, European elections will be held between 22 and 25 May, 2014, and not in June 2014 as initially planned.
On May 21, the European Parliament endorsed the change to the electoral calendar, on the basis that “the turnout will be higher in the month of May than during the holidays in June,” explains De Morgen.
As a result, points out the daily, Belgian elections will also be pushed forward by a month, because under the terms of the “sixth [Belgian] state reform, European regional and federal elections must all be held at the same time.”
