To examine the European print media's assessment of the At Large elections, all articles were analysed for positive judgements, negative judgements, neutrality and mentions of both positive and negative judgements, all regardless of whether they were direct judgements or quoted judgements.

44 of the articles contained positive judgements about the election in general, 46 were neutral, 9 articles contained both positive and negative judgements. Only one article, a commentary in an Austrian newspaper, contained only negative comments.

The implementation of the election was however judged less positively. Of those articles mentioning the course of the registrations, there were 22 negative ones and 2 with both positive and negative judgements. Similarly, the total number of participants was judged positively in 6 articles, both positive and negative judgements were found in 5 articles, only negative ones in 29 articles. Many of the negative judgements appeared in July and October and involve a comparison between the number of membership registrations or voters and the millions of Internet users worldwide.
