Numbers of EU citizens troubled on voting day; UK extension to remain in EU bloc on a table.

Some EU citizens living in the UK refused to vote.

More than hundreds of EU citizens living in the United Kingdom have been rejected to vote for the 2019 European Union-United Kingdom parliamentarians election which held today the 23rd May 2091 Countrywide.

"Names of the EU citizens were crossed off on voting lists at the different polling stations, whilst in some pollings stations, confusions situations about the EU citizens rights to vote were imaged.  Said, Maike Bohn, the co-founder of the 3million, the organization which presents the EU nations living in the UK.

For an EU citizen to vote has had to fill a declaration form called UC1/EC6 as a guarantee that they will not vote in their home countries. But, according to the campaign group, most EU citizens living in Britain were not informed and it appeared that was caused by the unplanned process, the campaign group reported.

"We are not happy with what happened, and the British authorities have to be responsible for failing to disseminate the information on how the EU citizen living the UK should do if  they want to vote." Insisted, Mr. Bohn.

Also, on the issue of the UK membership situation inside the EU, the  European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker has suggested that there is a possibility of the UK to be still in the EU bloc beyond October 31.  " I am waiting for the next UK extension," said Juncker after bemoaning about the ongoing Britains political situation and the negative booming campaigns of replacing Thereza May as Prime Minister.

The EU-UK marriage affair has been dented since the people of the UK voted for divorce from the EU membership on 23, June 2016, as 17,410,742 people voted to leave and whilst 16,141,241 people voted to remain, and the vote result has been described to divide Britain into the half, when comes to the country's' EU membership.
