Potential Impact of Events in Athens on Election Turnout

The date for the Parliamentary Elections is set for May 24, 2026, and will not be changed. However, there is concern about how major events taking place in Athens during the same period – the Euroleague Final Four and an Iron Maiden concert – will affect election turnout. Many citizens are expected to travel to Athens for these events, and the option of registering on the Athens electoral rolls offers a solution for them to exercise their right to vote there. It remains uncertain whether the elections will be a priority for those traveling, and to what extent their absence will impact the results.
