There is no uniform voting system for the election of [Members of the European Parliament]; rather, each member state is free to choose its own system, subject to certain restrictions:

The system must be a form of proportional representation, under either the party list or the single transferable vote system.

Saint-Pierre and Miquelon is a way better example. Only 19km away from Point May in Newfoundland.

French Island with ~6000 residents. Full EU member. {Edit: I might have been wrong on full EU member, seems to be kind of a member but kind of not} You can take a ferry there from Canada.
