News from AEGEE
AEGEE demands more equality in the procedures of EP elections
The Y Vote 2014 Project Team has identified that there is a
considerable discrepancy
in the national rules that determine participation in European elections
for citizens who reside or temporary are abroad on the election day.
These differences may decrease the voter turnout in the elections, cause
lack of trust in the EU and inequality among the citizens, and hamper
mobility.
All these aspects are addressed in this article
<http://aegee.us7.list-manage.com/track/click?u=7a170c64e0d3990f3f6629d21&id=f850a2416e&e=b0a1ea0102>
.
The Y Vote 2014 team also encourages AEGEE members to sign the petition
Equal Voting Rights and Procedures for all EU Citizens in the European
Parliament Elections.
Europe on Track 2 was launched on the 9th April
After presenting the project in the press conference at the European
Parliament<http://aegee.us7.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=7a170c64e0d3990f3f6629d21&id=58095746e4&e=b0a1ea0102>,
