Wed 04 Apr 2009Less than a third of citizens will vote in EU poll - survey
LESS THAN a third of European citizens say they will definitely vote in the European elections, prompting fears of a record low turnout in June.
An EU-wide survey due to be published today shows 28 per cent of EU citizens say they will definitely vote in the elections while a further 6 per cent say they will probably vote. British voters are the least likely in Europe to turn out, with just 21 per cent saying they will definitely or probably vote compared to 30 per cent who say they will definitely not vote.
