EUROVOTE+ : Europeans, scientists need your votes!
To mark the occasion of the May 2014 elections for the European Parliament, an online academic experiment is being launched throughout Europe.
The objectives of the EUROVOTE+ project are threefold:
- to carry out a scientific study on voting behaviour,
- to gather opinions about voting procedures in Europe,
- to provide information to the general public about how the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) are elected in the various European countries
A lot of institutions and researchers are involved in this project, for further information please download the dedicated brochure in English.

HOW TO TAKE PART?
Taking part in the study is simple: via the website, the public can cast their fictitious vote for the MEPs according to three different techniques currently used in Europe: the closed list system, an open list system, and a “Panachage & Cumulation” system. They can also “vote” via a single pan-European constituency - an electoral system which has been proposed by certain MEPs but remains for the moment only hypothetical.

>>> Taking part in EUROVOTE+ is 100% anonymous and the study is aimed solely at furthering the cause of public scientific research.
