"The 18 December has been officially "locked" as the date for the Archdiocesan elections for the nomination of the tripartite, following the decision of the Holy Synod that met on Monday morning.
The people will be asked to nominate the tripartite, i.e. the 3 elected prelates who will then be brought before the Holy Synod to elect the new Archbishop of Cyprus. The process of election by the Holy Synod, according to the data available so far and the announcements made by the throne's vicar, Metropolitan George of Pafos, is expected to take place between Christmas and New Year.
The ballot prepared by the government printing office is also ready. It is not excluded that the ballot paper will also be referred to the Holy Synod for final approval.
See a sample of the ballot paper:
Candidates:
Metropolitan George of Paphos
Metropolitan Chrysostomos of Kyrenia
Metropolitan Athanasios of Limassol
Metropolitan Neophytos of Morphou
Metropolitan of Constantia Basil
Metropolitan of Tamassos and Orini Isaias
