The People's Electoral Movement (Dutch: Electorale Volksbeweging, Papiamento: Movimiento Electoral di Pueblo, MEP) is a social democratic political party in Aruba. Following the 2001 general election for the Parliament of Aruba the party won 52.4% of popular vote and 12 out of 21 seats. In the 2005 general election, the party won 43% of the popular vote and 11 out of 21 seats thus won the election and remained in power. In the 2009 general election, MEP lost 2 seats and won 36% of the vote, subsequently losing the election.

In the 2017 general election, the MEP won 37% of the vote, and gained a seat. Following the appointment of a formateur, the MEP agreed to form a Coalition government with Pueblo Orguyoso y Respeta (POR) and Network of Electoral Democracy (RED).

Following the 2021 Aruban general election, the MEP remained the largest party in parliament and went on subsequently to form a minority government.
