A total of 720 MEPs are elected (96 of them are elected in Germany) during the European Elections which are held on 6-9 of June 2024. Ahead of the elections, the European Parliament confirmed the importance of applying the lead candidate mechanism (the “Spitzenkandidaten” process), in which European political parties designate their respective candidates for the post of EU Commission President. The aim is to allow citizens to influence directly, through their vote in the European elections, the choice of the head of the European executive.
