Riforma della legge elettorale europea - Ostacoli alla ratifica e all'attuazione negli Stati membri

Di cosa si tratta?

• The reform of the European Electoral Act seeks to harmonize electoral procedures across the EU and enhance the democratic legitimacy of the Parliament.
• Key changes include a mandatory 2% threshold for member states with over 35 seats and measures to prevent double voting.
• Political obstacles, particularly in Spain and Germany, delay ratification due to conflicting national interests and constitutional concerns.
• Optional provisions, such as visibility of European parties on ballots, are rarely implemented, hindering the Europeanization of elections.
• The goal is to increase voter participation and improve the transparency of the electoral process.
