Around the EU, voting to select a new batch of MEPs will take place between June 6 and 9.

Polish voters will head to the ballot box on Sunday.

The vote will be the third in an electoral marathon in the country, following national parliamentary elections last autumn and local elections in April.

After the EU elections, Poles will go to the polls to elect a new president next year.

The European Parliament is the directly elected parliamentary institution of the European Union, of which Poland has been a member since 2004.

Polish citizens worldwide will go to polling stations to elect 53 national members of the European Parliament (MEPs).

Ahead of the vote, an information campaign has been launched among Poles living abroad.

Radio Poland's Michał Owczarek talked to Witold Naturski, head of the European Parliament Liaison Office in Warsaw, to learn details about the effort.
