Use your vote

Today, democracy may seem taken for granted.in the European Union. But it was not always so.

Not so long ago, millions of Europeans could not vote or speak freely. They could risk their lives simply because they were different, because they had different ideas or because they wanted a different life.

Democracy is a precious gift that was passed on to us by previous generations. Democracy was their aspiration and they fought for it. Now it is up to us to maintain it, strengthen it and pass it on to future generations.

The most effective way to do this is to vote, because the more people vote, the more democracy is strengthened.

On 8 and 9 June 2024, use your vote or others will decide for you.

Use your vote. Or others will decide for you. European elections, 8-9 June 2024

Previous generations fought for democracy. Now it is up to our generation to defend it. Use your vote in the European elections, don't let others decide for you. #UseYourVote
