I have voted. A choice of 13 parties for the Euro Election all listed alphabetical.
Then all the names of the candidates in that party listed underneath in the order that they would take a seat.

To try to explain - because it's proportional representation - each party fields a number of candidates and they can specify the order that they are listed in. Then when the votes are counted it is determined how many candidates from each party gets in - this is done proportionally so for example, if it is decided that three candidates are elected from the Green Party then the first three candidates on their list will get in.

I noticed that Nick Griffin was No. 1 candidate for the BNP.
