Voters in 21 EU countries will conclude a four-day election for the European Parliament, which is expected to shift the assembly to the right and boost the numbers of Eurosceptic nationalists.
The election will shape how the 450 million citizens in the European Union confronts challenges including a hostile Russia, increased industrial rivalry from China and the United States, climate change and immigration.
The election began on Thursday in the Netherlands and in other countries on Friday and yesterday but the bulk of EU votes will be cast today.
Opinion polls predict the pro-European liberals and Greens will lose seats, reducing the majority of the centre-right and centre-left and complicating efforts to push through new EU laws or increase European integration.
