Claim: The Greek parliament changed the rules for European Parliament elections, abolishing the idea of forming a single constituency and an electoral threshold, which refers to the minimum share of the primary vote required to be entitled to representation.
Evidence: Doing away with closed lists, candidates are now elected on the basis of individual preference votes with a maximum of four preferences per voter. In the European elections, the whole country forms a single constituency and an electoral threshold is set at 3% of the vote. The electoral threshold, or election threshold, is the minimum share of the primary vote which a candidate or political party requires to achieve before they become entitled to any representation in a legislature.
