The Chief Electoral Officer, Dr. Costas Constantinou, in the context of his statement on voter turnout by 12 p.m, was asked by a journalist whether he had received any complaints.
"I understand that there is a constant flow of information," the Chief Electoral Officer replied.
He informed that the monitoring of internet-related publications has been dutifully assigned to the team of the Press and Information Office. He said matters that fall under the purview of the Privacy Commissioner are being handled in terms of their investigation by the Office of the Commissioner. "Obviously, we will then see what will be referred to the Attorney General of the Republic for appropriate action," he added.
He also informed that he has visited many polling stations in Nicosia on the spot and that he is monitoring both the internet and television to the extent that he can. "I think the electoral process is running very smoothly, exemplary I would say. Individual issues obviously arise, as in any such process, which will be dealt with on a daily basis," he said.
In closing, the Supervisor General of Elections said the next briefing will take place at the opening of the polls around 1:15 p.m., as scheduled.
