The first votes have been cast in the European Parliament election.
The official election dates are June 6 to 9, with most countries going to the polls on Sunday (June 9). But Estonia has a three-day head start, with voting allowed from Monday (from 9 a.m. online and from midday in person) until 8 p.m. on Saturday.
Estonia will have seven members out of 720 in the next European Parliament.
Former Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu’s conservative Fatherland party has been leading the polls for the past six months by opposing green measures and calling for greater oversight over the construction of a railway network connecting the Baltics to Poland.
