Why were there different numbers of people entitled to vote and those entitled to vote?

This is due to the different legal bases.

• For the first time, all German citizens over the age of 16 can vote in the elections to the European Parliament. Citizens of the other member states of the European Union (EU citizens), on the other hand, had to register on the electoral roll by May 19. This is to prevent double voting, as they are generally allowed to vote in their home country.
• Citizens are only entitled to vote in the referendum once they have reached the age of 18. EU citizens are registered on the electoral roll without applying.
