EU elections: Millions head to polls on final day as right wing surges.

Europeans from 20 countries are heading to vote on the biggest and final day of voting for the European Parliament.

In a high-stakes election year, the EU vote is particularly significant on a continent that is witnessing rising political polarization and nationalism.

The run-up to the vote was marked by violent incidents. Although the attack, which resulted in Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen receiving a minor flogging and forcing her to suspend her campaign, is not considered politically motivated.

Europe's main centre-right groups are expected to top the EU overall when the first forecasts are released later on Sunday, but all three far-right parties are eyeing a chance to win the most seats nationally.

The French National Union, Italy's Italian Brothers and the Austrian Freedom Party are leading in opinion polls, as is Belgian separatist anti-immigration party Blams Belan.

Most EU member states will vote on Sunday, although some EU countries have already started voting on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The European Parliament acts as a direct link between Europeans and EU institutions.
