From May 23 to 26, some 400 million people in 27 EU member countries can take an active part in shaping the future of the European Union and cast their votes in the European elections. On assignment from the European Parliament, the dpa subsidiary news aktuell, under the press portal URL http://EUrVOTE.eu, in the weeks ahead will be making information packages for use by the media available free of charge. The spot news, background reports and interactive graphics were produced by dpa-Custom Content and can be used by the media for their news coverage.
Why is the EU important and how does it affect its citizens? EUrVOTE provides answers. Starting with the first themed packages in February, the offering will be expanded with new content at regular intervals through May. Each package consists of dpa texts and photos, accompanied by interactive graphics from dpa-infocom that illustrate specific issues and aspects and offer vital added value to editorial staffs.
Elections in figures: In the run-up to the European elections the service will be expanded with a number of elements from dpa-ElectionsLive with opinion surveys from all EU member states. As soon as the first vote projections appear, the widgets will show all the results from the individual member states and the distribution of seats in the new EU Parliament. dpa-ElectionsLive visually illustrates the latest data in real time. Media may likewise incorporate this content in their internet services.
