Various European countries will hold elections in 2024, but the votes in Portugal, Belgium, Austria, Romania and the United Kingdom will likely be the most impactful, with potential implications ranging from the rise of right-wing populists to drastic changes in domestic and foreign policy. Between February and December, a number of European countries will hold parliamentary and/or presidential elections (Finland formally kicked off Europe's electoral year with a presidential election in late January).

While each of these elections is relevant, below we present the ones that will have the greatest domestic and international repercussions, in the order in which they will occur.
