In the 2024 European Parliament elections, 21% or 200 of the 945 polling stations in Latvia were inaccessible to people with mobility problems. Such polling stations not only make it difficult to cast a vote in elections but also prevent people with disabilities from working at the polling station, Latvian Television reported June 10.
In the European Parliament (EP) elections, the leader of "New Unity" (JV) Valdis Dombrovskis received the most plus markings on ballots, while his party member Krišjānis Kariņš (JV) had his name crossed out the most, according to the preliminary results of the EP elections published by the Central Election Commission (CVK), LETA reports June 10.
Representatives of several parties in the Central Election Commission (CVK) are in disagreement with the decision of its head Kristīne Saulīte to entrust the collection of votes cast in the European Parliament (EP) elections to only two IT specialists, thus making the process opaque for the commission members, CVK member Ringolds Balodis told Latvian Television June 9.
