In an effort to underline the significance of voter participation in the forthcoming elections, the European Parliament has launched an influential campaign targeting the citizens of Europe. The initiative, aptly named “Real Stories of Democracy,” conveys a clear and urgent message: “Use your vote; otherwise, others will decide for you.”

The campaign comes at a critical time when the fabric of democracy seems increasingly precarious, not just in Europe but globally. The cornerstone of the campaign is to foster a deeper appreciation for democratic processes and to remind European citizens of their power and responsibility as voters. The slogan is a direct call to action, urging individuals to exercise their democratic right to vote to ensure that their voices are heard.
