CATCHUP: If you're just joining us, here's what we know from the first wave of exit polls:

A cautious, early takeaway is that populist parties failed to make the splash they were hoping for, while support for environmental movements like Germany's Greens surged, particularly among younger voters

In Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel's CDU/CSU bloc won the EU ballot with about 28% of the vote, but that was down from 35% in 2014

Merkel's national coalition partners, the Social Democrats, crashed to 15.5% from 27%, and also came second to the CDU in a regional ballot in Bremen, a traditional stronghold
The Greens were the second-strongest party in Germany with 22% of the EU vote, while the far-right AfD did slightly worse than expected with 10.5%

In Austria, in the wake of the video scandal that felled the government, Prime Minister Sebastian Kurz is on track to win but nonetheless looks set to lose a confidence vote on Monday

Greek exit polls show Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is set to lose, possibly prompting a snap national election as soon as June

Viktor Orban's Fidesz party has a commanding 56% of the vote in Hungary, hardly a surprise given the prime minister's near-total control of national media
