Artikel 39 - Rösträtt och valbarhet till Europaparlamentet

1. Varje unionsmedborgare ska ha rösträtt och vara valbar vid val till Europaparlamentet i den medlemsstat där han eller hon är bosatt, på samma villkor som medborgarna i den staten. 2. Ledamöterna i Europaparlamentet ska väljas genom allmänna, direkta, fria och hemliga val.

    • Text:

      Artikel 39 ska enligt artikel 52.2 i stadgan tillämpas på de villkor som avses i fördragen. Artikel 39.1 motsvarar den rättighet som garanteras i artikel 20.2 i fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt (jfr även den rättsliga grunden i artikel 22 i fördraget om Europeiska unionens funktionssätt för antagande av de närmare arrangemangen för utövandet av denna rättighet), och artikel 39.2 motsvarar artikel 14.3 i fördraget om Europeiska unionen. I artikel 39.2 anges grunderna för valförfarandet i ett demokratiskt system.

      Preamble - Explanations relating to the Charter of Fundamental Rights:
      Förklaringarna utarbetades ursprungligen på initiativ av presidiet för det konvent som utarbetade Europeiska unionens stadga om de grundläggande rättigheterna. De har uppdaterats på initiativ av Europeiska konventets presidium mot bakgrund av de justeringar av stadgetexten som gjorts av det senare konventet (särskilt artiklarna 51 och 52) samt unionsrättens vidare utveckling. Även om förklaringarna inte i sig har rättslig status, utgör de ett värdefullt tolkningsverktyg avsett att klargöra stadgans bestämmelser.
