How to vote in Lithuania

  • 9 June 2024

  • Normally, you are allocated a polling station based on your home address.

    However, on the EP election day you can also vote in another polling station (since the whole country is one constituency), provided the polling station is connected to the central database, to ensure that the voter only casts one ballot. Voters can also vote in advance in any Lithuanian municipality on the last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday before election day, or vote at home in some cases (last Friday, Saturday), or in special voting facilities (hospitals, social care institutions and etc.)(last Wednesday, Thurday, Friday).

    If you are a Lithuanian citizen living abroad, you can vote from another EU country in Lithuanian diplomatic missions or consulates, in person or by post.
