The official election dates are June 6 to 9, with most countries going to the polls on Sunday (June 9). But Estonia has a three-day head start, with voting allowed from Monday (from 9 a.m. online and from midday in person) until 8 p.m. on Saturday.

Former Foreign Minister Urmas Reinsalu’s conservative Fatherland party has been leading the polls for the past six months by opposing green measures and calling for greater oversight over the construction of a railway network connecting the Baltics to Poland.
