As for the overseas polls, I can confirm that on 9:00 π.μ., Cyprus time, the polling station in the United Arab Emirates was operating normally, and the polling stations in the United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, Luxembourg and the United Kingdom have just now opened and are operating for their voters.
To recall the opening hours at polling stations abroad, which differ from those in Cyprus:
- At the polling station in the United Arab Emirates, polling stations are open from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm, local time, with a one-hour break from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
- The opening hours at polling stations in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Luxembourg are from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., local time, with a one-hour break from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m.
- The opening hours at polling stations in the United Kingdom are from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., local time, with a half-hour break from 12:00 p.m. to 12:30 p.m.
To reiterate, the proceedings are proceeding well and without any problems. According to the information I have received so far from the Election Supervisors, nothing untoward has been observed during the election process. Some minor issues that arose have been resolved at the level of the Returning Officers.
I am at your disposal for any clarifications you may require.
