The European elections will be held with a preference cross and with a single district for the whole country
The details regarding the establishment of the postal vote that the Prime Minister announced in the morning to the Cabinet are currently being specified by the Minister of the Interior Niki Kerameos and the deputy minister Theodoros Livanios.
The Euro elections will take place with a cross of preference and with a single district for the whole country.
“Today we take another important step. We are establishing postal voting for anyone who wishes inside and outside of Greece”, he said characteristically in the morning Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
The prime minister spoke of “a historical section” as, as he said, “the electoral process is enriched, changed and is a brave reform, as it expands the electorate and is the most powerful answer to abstention”.
The introduction of postal voting deepens democracy, said Ms. Kerameos.
It is the best starting point for the next fifty years of democracy.
We are responding and the landscape is changing for foreign and domestic voters as disabled people will be able to vote.
The electronic portal also applies to the European elections in June.
It is a tool used in many countries of the world. Disabled, seasonal workers and other workers will be able to vote, said Mr. Livanios.
Polling stations abroad will not be set up during the European elections.
Postal voting concerns European elections and national referendums for now.
The deadline for submitting an application for participation by postal vote on the special platform that will be created will expire 40 days before the elections, while 20 days before the elections the files will be sent.
Voters will receive a file that will contain a vote return file, the voting file, the ballot paper, a form for voters and a responsible declaration form.
The final date and time for the receipt of the files will be at 5 pm on Saturday, the eve of the elections.
