Voting, Participation and Last Minutes of 9J Poll

June, 15:51

Participation in the European elections in Catalonia at 2:00 pm is 24.76%, 10 points lower than in 2019 (35.37% and a year in which they coincide with municipal elections). In the 2014 European Championships, participation in Catalonia at 2:00 pm was similar, at 25.2%. By district, Lleida is the place where the number of voters has fallen the most in this 9-J: 21.8% participation (almost 16 points lower). Participation in Girona at 2:00 pm is 22.1% (14 points lower), Tarragona at 23.5% (13.5 points lower) and Barcelona at 25.5% (9.3 points lower). Participation in the European elections throughout the state at 2:00 pm is 28%, almost 7 points lower than in 2019.

Andalusia (26.04% participation), Galicia (26.47%), the Balearic Islands (22.80%) and the Canary Islands (18.89%) were the four communities where participation was lowest. The Secretary of State for Communications, Francesc Vallés, reminded that the figures are compared to the 2019 European elections, which benefited from coinciding with municipal and regional elections. “At the 2014 European Championships, participation at 2:00 p.m. was 23.84%; in 2009 it was 24.10%; and in 2004 it was 24.56%,” Vallés listed. “So, and taking an average, we are certainly about four points above the usual participation in European elections,” the Secretary of State for Communications stressed.
