Parliamentary Elections: What You Need to Know About Voting Abroad

The Ministry of Interior has announced details regarding voting abroad for the Parliamentary Elections on May 24, 2026. Eligible voters include those already registered on the electoral roll or who register by April 2, 2026. Registration can be done either electronically or through Embassies/Consulates, Provincial Administration Offices, Citizen Service Centers, Cyprus Post Offices, and the Ministry of Interior. To operate polling stations abroad, interest must be expressed by at least 30 voters from each electoral district. Based on this criterion, polling stations are expected to operate in Athens, Thessaloniki, Patras, London, Manchester, and Brussels. The announcement emphasizes the importance of early registration for those wishing to exercise their right to vote abroad. It also reminds that the registration process is simple and accessible through various channels.
