| The European Parliament is going to discuss the change in electoral system in June. Does the reform of the electoral law proposed by Andrew Duff give a chance to stop the decline of turnout at European Parliament elections, noticed in most EU member states? Does the reform bring an increased engagement in European affairs? Does introduction of the EU-wide electoral list, running alongside national lists givea chance to stimulate interest in the elections among EU citizens? The aforementioned issues are going to be discussed during the debate. The discussion will concentrate onthe following questions:
