European Parliament election, 2014 (Aosta Valley)

The European Parliament election of 2014 took place in Italy on 25 May 2014.

In Aosta Valley the centre-left Democratic Party, endorsed by the Progressive Valdostan Union and Autonomy Liberty Participation Ecology,[1] came largely ahead with 47.1% of the vote, followed by the Five Star Movement, distant second at 19.6%. The two parties forming the regional government, namely the Valdostan Union and Edelweiss, did not participate in or endorse any list.[2] This likely favoured Lega Nord, which gained 6.8% of the vote, its best tally in the region since 1996. Among other lists, Forza Italia obtained 10.3% and The Other Europe 7.7%. PD–UVP–ALPE's Luca Barbieri was the most voted candidate in the region with 8,128 preference votes.[3]
