About this election
The rules of the game
Romania elects its members of the European Parliament by closed-list proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency, using the d'Hondt method with a 5% threshold. Because the whole country forms one constituency, European elections produce no county-level breakdown — voters everywhere choose from the same national lists — so this page reports the national result only, without a regional map. Romania held 32 seats in the 2019–2024 term, rising to 33 after the United Kingdom's departure from the EU redistributed seats.
