The European Parliament election of 2024 took place in Aosta Valley, as well as the rest of Italy, on 8–9 June 2024.
Background
editIn the 2019 European Parliament election, most regionalist parties ran on the Autonomies for Europe list, only getting 14% and 6,904 votes[1] far below the 50,000 votes needed.[2] The largest party Valdostan Union decided to not participate in the election citing the electoral system.[3] Two regional parties registered their symbols, Valdostan Rally (which split from the local branch of Lega and signed a deal with Freedom) and Laurent Viérin's Federalism & Autonomy list, composed of Sovereign Aosta Valley Country and Valdostan Pride.[4] However, after talks with Forza Italia and Italia Viva were unsuccessful,[5] Federalism & Autonomy withdrew its candidacy.[6]
