The results of Sunday’s European elections in Luxembourg are in as are those of the 27 other EU member states.

How did it go?

In Luxembourg, there was little change to the seat distributions bar the DP, which doubled its number of seats to 2. Charles Goerens (97,445 votes) for DP, Christophe Hansen, (62,622 votes) of CSV, and Tilly Metz (55,359 votes) of déi Gréng, retained their seats.

Otherwise, the new faces were:

Monica Semedo, DP (50,890 votes)

Isabel Wiseler-Santos Lima, CSV (49,496 votes)

Nicolas Schmit, LSAP (39,000 votes)

In Luxembourg, voting in elections is compulsory for Luxembourgers. That doesn't mean everyone casts a vote, though. Overall, however, the average turnout at the 2019 European Parliament elections was the best since 1994.
