Abstract
The present study proposes to x-ray the evolution of the European Parliament elections in Romania from 2007 to the present days, with the perspective of a better understanding of the meaning of this type of elections. The study is based, in particular, on quantitative research that has the role of providing statistical data and comparative graphics that outline a clear picture of the participation in the vote and the results obtained in the five voting polls through which our country passed upon joining the European Union.
