Yes, all European elections in Great Britain are carried out using the D’Hondt method which is a form of PR. In Northern Ireland, PR by the Single Transferable Vote is used for European elections, Assembly elections and local elections. In Scotland, PR is used for Scottish Parliament elections and (from 2007) local elections. PR is also used to elect members of the Welsh Assembly and Greater London Assembly.
