Both Latvian and EU citizens residing in the country are entitled to vote in the European elections in Latvia. No registration is needed for Latvian citizens, while other EU citizens residing in Latvia are required to register with the Central Electoral Commission. In addition, those eligible to vote must turn 18 years old by election day at the latest.[4]
