European Parliament elections are due to be held in the United Kingdom and Gibraltar in 2019 as part of the EU-wide elections.

The UK will hold a referendum on EU membership in June 2016 and a vote to leave the EU would see these elections cancelled.

Constituencies and representation

As has been the case since 1999, the electoral constituencies are based on the government's nine English regions, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales, creating a total of 12 constituencies. The seat allocation has been the same since 2008:
