2019 European Parliament Election in Cyprus

Background

The 2019 European Parliament election in Cyprus was held on May 26, 2019, as part of the pan-European elections. The election was to fill the allocation of six members from Cyprus to the ninth Parliament of the European Parliament.

Voting Method

The six Cypriot Euro MPs were elected by multi-member proportional vote with preferential voting. Each party was allocated a number of seats calculated according to the strongest remaining method, and the seats were then allocated to the candidates of that party having obtained the most votes.

Context

At the European level, the 2019 election took place in an unprecedented context. The previous mandate (2014-2019) saw several events with lasting impacts on the European political situation, including:

* The 2016 referendum on the United Kingdom's membership of the European Union
* The arrival or renewal of Eurosceptic and populist governments in Hungary (2014), Poland (2015), and other countries

Results

The Democratic Rally (DISY) won every election since its inception.
