Total mobilization
The polls closed shortly after 8 pm while, by decision of EDEKAP, the voting was extended in some polling stations in Athens, Thessaloniki and other large cities as there were long queues of those who wanted to vote and could not be excluded from the voting. .
According to the final estimates, the turnout reached approximately 276,000 people, far exceeding the 212,000 people who participated in the previous election process of 2017.
The Movement for Change is pleased with the response of the people who actively participated in the process of electing a new president, rushing to vote.
The large turnout of citizens to vote even led to the decision for a “silent extension” in some polling stations where crowds prevailed.
This means that although there was no decision to extend the time during which interested citizens could go to the polls, however, in polling stations where people were still in line and after 20:00, they were able to vote normally.
In any case, this possibility was strictly valid for polling stations where there is a crowd.
