Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BRITAIN, Denmark, Ireland and the Netherlands vote in the European elections today. The remaining eight EU countries - Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Portugal and Spain - vote on Sunday. Votes in all countries will not be counted until the polls close on Sunday. The first British results are expected at about 10.30pm on Sunday.
Britain is the only country to vote using the first-past- the-post system in single member constituencies. Ireland has transferrable votes in three or four member constituencies. All other countries have proportional representation with regional or national lists of candidates.
Today's election is the first in Britain in which foreigners can vote - leaving aside Irish citizens who have always had the vote in Britain. Nationals of EU countries permanently resident here can cast ballots in the British Euro poll; Britons resident in other EU countries can vote in the country where they live.
