The UK vote was also down again .. to some 33%
The West Midlands vote was .. 34.95 %

Election results will be available
in due course on the website
which will be
operational from Sunday 7 June from 18.00,
and will be
available from this website later that evening.
Turnout has also been
falling steadily since the first elections in 1979 indicating increased
apathy about the Parliament despite its increase in power over that
period.
In the UK, 11 million voted in the 1999 European elections while 23
million voted on the Big Brother TV show in 2002.
Despite falling below 50% since 1999, turnout is not yet as low as that
of the US Midterm elections which usually fall below 40%.
Turnout
The first results will be available from 21.00 CEST.
