Y Vote article in EurActiv : the different voting requirements in the EU
The Y Vote 2014 Project recently published an article in EurActiv. It
addressed the issue of the diverse national rules within the EU that
regulate the requirements to be eligible to participate in European
elections. The rules that determine the minimum age to be eligible to vote
and to stand as a candidate vary so badly across the Member States that the
Y Vote Project questions whether the principle of equality is sustained in
this system.
You can read the whole article here and share your opinion with the Y Vote
2014 team!

Back to black: New law that might kill democracy in Ukraine
"*Imagine the situation: you are at the Agora, where many significant
proposals should be discussed and voted upon. The opposition (a group of
people not supporting such changes) is blocking the Chairperson from
leading the plenary/discussion of the proposal. The solution: the
Vice-chair is leading the discussion from the middle of the plenary room,
not giving any time for the discussion and adding some voting proposals
which had never even been in the agenda. And by the way, the Chair and
Vice-chair are from the group of people who are pushing changes to be
approved*."
