Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • This is an annotated list of notable records from United Kingdom elections to the European Parliament. Since the first election in 1979, EP elections in Great Britain have used two very different electoral systems. From 1979 until 1994, elections were conducted using first past the post (FPTP), with Great Britain divided into numerous single member constituencies. Since 1999 however, mainland elections have used the d'Hondt method of proportional representation (PR), with 11 multi-member constituencies corresponding to Scotland, Wales and the regions of England. Northern Ireland has always used the single transferable vote system. As a result, comparisons between these two types elections are problematic, and the voting system will be noted by each record.
