The European Parliament voted 410 to 192 in favor of abandoning daylight saving time, the biannual tradition of changing the time on clocks across by one hour, with a planned implementation in 2021.

The vote, though not binding, will drive the discussion among European Union member states about abandoning the practice going forward. EU law currently requires all members to move the observed time back one hour in the fall and ahead one hour in the spring.
