2026 Conscription: Digital Platform for Selection Preferences Opens

The Ministry of Defense has announced the launch of a digital platform for submitting selection preferences for conscripts of the 2026 National Service (ΕΣΣΟ). The platform will be operational from April 17th to May 3rd, 2026, and will be used to record the preferences of conscripts regarding their allocation to the Branches, Arms, and Corps of the National Guard. Conscripts are urged to create profiles on the Government Portal (https://www.gov.cy) by April 15th, 2026, or to identify themselves if they already have profiles from previous procedures. The Ministry of Defense will soon publish detailed information material on the website https://www.gov.cy/mod regarding the process. This move aims for a transparent and efficient selection and allocation process for conscripts.
