European Parliament allows female MEPs to delegate their vote before and after childbirth — fathers left out
The European Parliament has given final approval to a temporary exception to the in-person voting rule: female MEPs will be able to transfer their vote to a colleague for up to three months before the expected birth and six months after. The right does not extend to fathers and adoptive parents; the rule will take effect only after ratification of the amendments to the Electoral Act by all 27 EU countries, of which ten have so far completed the procedure.
