Elections for the European Parliament are expected to take place on 22nd May 2014.
Electors in European Parliamentary Elections choose a political party, rather individuals, when they cast their vote. Members of the European Parliament are then elected from different parties based on the proportion of the vote, using the d'Hondt method (explaination here), received by that party across the region.
Further details about these elections will be published here as they become available.

In European Parliamentary elections electors cast their vote for a party, rather than an individual, as is the case in most other UK elections. Five candidates have been ranked on a list by Conservative Party members from across the East Midlands.
