Give yourself a pat on the back! Canada’s participation in these elections tripled compared to 2019. A sincere thank-you to every Latvian citizen who voted. Thank-you to everyone who helped make this happen: Arnis Markitants and the team that managed the voting station in Toronto; the Embassy of Latvia in Ottawa; our LNAK regional representatives, who helped motivate their local communities to vote; Andris Gobi\u0146\u0161 and Iveta Ka\u017eoka, who educated us via our LNAK Zoom seminars; Latvians in Hamilton and Ottawa who gathered to watch the seminars; Toronto’s chapter of the Latvian Relief Society, who let us use their meeting room to watch the seminar in Toronto; the Toronto Latvian Pensioners’ Association, which talked about the EP elections at several of their meetings; the Toronto Latvian Choir for informing the choristers; Vita Gai\u0137e and the “Latvija Amerik\u0101” newspaper that published many articles regarding the elections, and placed LNAK’s “10 Resons to Vote…” prominently on Page 2; all the chauffeurs who drove fellow Latvians to the voting stations; and everyone, who engaged in discussions, educated themselves, and shared their questions, observations and suggestions.<\/p>\n
Official results will be published at midnight (Latvia time). According to the the latest news from lsm.lv (12:21 Latvia time):<\/p>\n
“As of now it’s not clear whether the “Stabilit\u0101tei!” party will be successful in getting enough votes to have a seat in the European Parliament.<\/p>\n
If they do not get a set, “Jaun\u0101 Vienot\u012bba” and “Nacion\u0101l\u0101 Apvien\u012bba” will get two seats each, and “Latvijas att\u012bst\u012bbai”, “Apvienotais saraksts”, “Latvija pirmaj\u0101 viet\u0101”, “Saska\u0146a” and “Progres\u012bvie” will get one seat each.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
