What values will Aknīste Municipality vote for in the European elections?

This year, on 25 May, residents of Latvia’s municipalities and cities will have the opportunity to decide Europe’s future by taking part in the European Parliament elections. In them, everyone will vote for the values that matter most to them. What will Aknīste Municipality vote for?

The European elections movement šoreizesbalsošu.eu is inviting residents of Aknīste Municipality to take part in an interesting activity—to write which values (for example, human rights, a clean environment, growth, and so on) they will vote for in the European elections this year, on 25 May. To do so, one or two words— their values—must be entered on the website ej.uz/soreizesbalsosu2019.

As the 100-day countdown to the European elections begins, on 15 February it will be possible to view the results at ej.uz/soreizesbalsosu-Akniste: “Aknīste Municipality says—this time I will vote for...”

We also invite residents to register themselves on the European elections platform šoreizesbalsošu.eu, follow current developments related to the European elections, and become active ambassadors.

“If everyone votes, everyone is a winner,” stresses Marta Rībele, Head of the European Parliament Liaison Office in Latvia, reminding us that Latvia has been in the EU for 15 years and can actively use the opportunities it provides, including voting in the European elections. Decisions adopted by the European Parliament affect approximately 80% of Latvia’s laws.
