An election of thedelegation fromGermany to theEuropean Parliament (EP) was held in June 1994.
Due to the accession of the former East German states in 1990, these were the first EU elections in Germany to have East Germans voting. Additionally, the ratification of the 1992Maastricht Treaty meant that for the first time,European Union citizens resident in Germany could vote on the German members of the European Parliament.[2]
The EP election was part of a "super election year" in Germany, which also saw the1994 German federal election in October, alongside parliamentary elections in eight of sixteenGerman states.[3] Treating the EP election as asecond-order election,[4] some commentators saw the good result for the reigning Christian Democratic Union (CDU) as a positive indicator of their chances in the subsequent federal elections (which the CDU did indeed win).[3] However, researchers later cast doubt on the notion that the 1994 EP election was a useful "test case" for subsequent national voting patterns.[5]
