EU elections voting in Cyprus

Any citizen of the Republic of Cyprus or a citizen of another EU Member State who reaches the age of 18 by the date of the elections is entitled to vote, provided that they have been registered on the relevant electoral roll.

Voting hours

Voting begins at 7 a.m. and adjourns for one hour at 12 noon. Voting will resume at 1 pm and will continue until 6 p.m. It is noted that, if necessary, the presiding officer may, at his absolute discretion, extend voting hours at his polling station until midnight, provided that there are voters outside waiting to vote.

How the voter is identified

In order for the voter to be accepted in a polling station and be given a ballot paper to vote, he/she should:

(a) be registered on the relevant electoral roll of the relevant polling station. If he/she is registered on the electoral roll of a different polling station, he/she shall be instructed by the elections officials to reach the appropriate polling station and vote.

(b) Present voter ID card or identity card. Without a voter ID card or identity card, no one can vote, regardless of whether their name is registered on the electoral roll.
