Many EU citizens have been unable to vote in Thursday's European Parliament election despite believing they had registered to take part. EU citizens living outside their home country are required to make an additional declaration to enable them to vote overseas to avoid the possibility of them casting separate votes in two countries. The Electoral Commission has blamed the situation on the "very short notice" given for the European elections, which weren't supposed to happen because of Brexit. Report by Jonesia.
