EU Election Interventions examines the integrity of European elections, revealing how electoral results are sometimes manipulated through disinformation campaigns or legal challenges. The book highlights the critical role of judicial systems in either upholding or undermining electoral integrity, particularly with the rise of political maneuvering. It addresses a concerning reality: the erosion of trust in elections weakens the foundations of democratic governance.

The book uses the 2024 Romanian presidential election nullification as a case study, dissecting the legal arguments, evidence, and fallout from the controversial decision. It argues that this case exposes systemic vulnerabilities within EU electoral frameworks, demanding robust safeguards.

The book progresses by first outlining electoral integrity principles, then analyzing the Romanian election, and finally examining similar cases across Europe. The book relies on primary source materials and academic research, presenting a fact-based analysis of electoral interference within EU member states. It connects to areas like international law and media studies to provide a nuanced understanding of threats to electoral integrity.

Ultimately, the book offers valuable insights for policymakers, legal scholars, and anyone interested in the health of democratic institutions, emphasizing the need to strengthen electoral safeguards and promote transparency.
