EU institutions and Member States could consider conducting voter information about the EP elections on a continuous basis, not only immediately before the next EP elections. Furthermore, the EP may consider continuing its own awareness raising activities until immediately before election days as long as there is no risk of perceptions of partisanship or politicization. The involvement of MEPs running for re- election, or their parties, in awareness raising events during or shortly before the campaign for EP elections could be perceived as selective and as providing unfair campaign opportunities for these MEPs and their political parties.
