Off-year European Parliament elections
Elections to the European Parliament are held every five years in all member states. Elections are held off-year in a country that has acceded to the European Union and must now send delegates.
Also, during the period when the United Kingdom used single-member, first-past-the-post constituencies to elect Members of the European Parliament from 1979 to 1999, they were required to have by-elections when a member resigned, died in office or was disqualified.
The following is a list of every off-year European Parliamentary election:
- Greece (1981)
- Portugal (1987)
- Spain (1987)
- Sweden (1995)
- Austria (1996)
- Finland (1996)
- Bulgaria (2007)
- Romania (2007)
- Croatia (2013)
- UK by-elections (1979–1998)
