STORYLINE:
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen cast her ballot on the final day of the EU election on Sunday.
Von der Leyen voted in the village of Beinhorn in her home country of Germany.
The war in Ukraine, migration, and agricultural policy are some of the issues weighing on voters’ minds across the bloc as they have been electing 720 members of the European Parliament.
Surveys suggest that mainstream and pro-European parties will retain their majority in parliament, but that the hard right, including parties led by politicians like the Netherlands' Geert Wilders and France’s Marine Le Pen will eat into their share of seats.
That would make it harder for Europe to pass legislation and make decisions.
