Voting ended normally at all polling stations, both in Cyprus and abroad.
Therefore, it is possible to publish exit polls (EXIT POLL), which have been conducted outside the polling stations for the purpose of predicting the final election result.
After the closure of the polls, the final stage of the electoral process has begun with the sorting and counting of votes at the polling stations themselves under the supervision of the presiding officers. Exceptions are the special ballot box at the Central Prison, the contents of which have been transferred to be set off against other ballot boxes in the various districts, and a small number of ballot boxes in occupied communities, with a small number of votes, which will be transferred to the single sorting centre to be operated at the Ministry of Finance building in Nicosia.
The first results from the smaller community polling stations are expected shortly.
According to the Act on the Election of Members of the European Parliament, "Member States may not officially announce the result of their vote until after the close of voting in all Member States". Therefore, and given that in Italy voting takes place until 12 midnight Cyprus time, results for the European elections will start to be announced after this time.
For the other elections there will be live streaming of the results on TV and on the internet.
In a very short while we will announce the final voter turnout figures.
