Members were elected by party-list proportional representation with a 3% electoral threshold. The number of seats allocated to Greece was reduced from 24 to 22, as a result of new member states joining the European Union (EU). Consistent with EU-wide rules, Greek citizens resident in another of the 26-member states were permitted to vote in the place where they currently reside. Participating parties On 24 May, the Greek Court of Cassation, the country's supreme court, accepted the applications of 27 of the 33 parties which applied to contest the elections. It banned six parties from participating: Alternative Ecologists Party of Responsible Citizenship Dimokratiki Party of Uprising Pensioners of Greece Panagriarian Workers Movement Political Greek-European Animal-Loving Movement Animal-Loving Ecologists of Greece In addition, the court ruled that the following parties could not participate as part of the Coalition of the Radical Left: Democratic Social Movement Movement of Active Citizens Movement for the Unity of Action of the Left Kokkino Ecosocialists of Greece ROZA A judicial dispute ensued, when Drassi filed a petition before the Council of State to annul the ministerial decision, through which the time for political advertising spots on the radio and television would be allocated, since it disproportionately favoured established parties. A preliminary ruling sent the dispute to the Council of State's plenary session, which will hear the petition for annulment on 25 September 2009.
