It is not the first time that the issue of the possibility of postal voting for Greeks abroad in national elections has been discussed. It is the 4th legislative initiative, and expatriates have been asking for it urgently“said to SKAI 100.3 the Minister of the Interior, Niki Kerameos, when asked about the reactions and criticism from the opposition regarding the surprise regarding the amendment to introduce postal voting in the national elections.

“It’s been 50 years that we have been discussing how our fellow Greek citizens living abroad will be able to exercise their right to vote,” said the Minister of the Interior.

He pointed out that last week when the postal voting bill for the European elections came to Parliament there was hardly a representative of the emigrants who did not raise the issue of the national elections.

He explained that there was a significant majority regarding the postal vote in the European elections. “It is our duty to take advantage of the opportunity and to move on to the next step, it is a natural evolution”, emphasized Ms. Kerameos.
