Today in the EU

If you are a citizen from one of the 27 countries that are members of the European Union, you have less than seven weeks before you are called to the polls for the European Parliament election, the first after Brexit. Today, we are getting into the practicalities of the voting process, and looking at the impact this vote will have on the future of the EU. What are the key dates we need to keep in mind and what can we expect from this election? 

In our studio, we invited Aurélie Pugnet, politics hub editor at Euractiv, to discuss this matter.
