Over 400 million people are eligible to vote for the 720 members of the European Parliament (MEPs).
Voter turnout was just above 50% in the last EU election of 2019, according to official data.
This includes Dutch nationalist Geert Wilders' anti-immigration party, which recorded significant gains in Thursday's Netherland's EU election, according to the latest exit polls.
