The United Kingdom's component of the 2014 European Parliament election is scheduled to be held in June 2014, coinciding with the 2014 local elections in England.
By European Political Group
Constituencies and representation
As has been the case since 1999, the electoral constituencies were based on the government's nine English regions, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, creating a total of 12 constituencies. On 31 July 2007, in line with the required reduction in representation from the United Kingdom, the Electoral Commission recommended reductions in representation from Scotland, and from 5 English regions, resulting in new representation as below, which were first used in 2009:
| Constituency | Representation in 2009 |
Representation in 2014 |
Net Gain/Loss |
|---|---|---|---|
| East Midlands | 5 | 5 | |
| East of England | 7 | 7 | |
| London | 8 | 8 | |
| North East England | 3 | 3 | |
| North West England | 8 | 8 | |
| South East England | 10 | 10 | |
| South West England | 6 | 6 | |
| West Midlands | 7 | 7 | |
| Yorkshire and the Humber | 6 | 6 | |
| Wales | 4 | 4 | |
| Scotland | 6 | 6 | |
| Northern Ireland | 3 | 3 |
The recommended changes were approved by the UK Parliament in 2008.
Includes Gibraltar, the only British overseas territory which is part of the European Union.
Due to the Treaty of Lisbon coming into force before the 2014, the UK is entitled to a 73rd MEP. The Electoral Commission performed a reallocation in keeping with the same procedures they used to allocate 72 MEPs and the extra Conservative MEP was allocated to the West Midlands constituency.
