Voters in the United Kingdom

The electoral process for the Cypriot elections continues without problems in the United Kingdom where a total of 10 polling stations have been set up for the 3,646 Cypriot citizens. This is 30% of foreign voters and concerns Cypriots who reside in the country and are registered in the Special Electoral List.

However, after the half-hour lunch break and the completion of the Divine Liturgy in the local Greek Orthodox churches in Britain, it is noticeably higher. So far, everything is going smoothly and not the slightest problem has been observed,” the Consul General of Cyprus in London Odysseas Odysseos told APE-MBE.
