The Ministry of Interior reminds that in the forthcoming presidential election on 5 February 2023 and, in any by-election on 12 February 2023, polling stations will be open abroad for voters who are already registered on the electoral roll or will be registered by 27 December 2022.
In order to enable the operation of polling stations abroad, a special electoral roll will be established, to which the data of registered voters will be transferred from the permanent electoral roll of Cyprus, following a declaration submitted by the interested parties. Polling stations abroad, in accordance with the law, may only operate in those cities in which the number of voters submitting a declaration exceeds 50.
To this end, holders of a voter registration booklet who wish to exercise their right to vote abroad may submit a declaration by completing the relevant form and submitting it in due time, no later than December 27, 2022. Declaration forms can be obtained from the Embassies/Consulates of the Republic abroad, the local offices of the Provincial Administrations, from the Citizen Service Centres and Citizen Centres (Cyprus Post Offices), from the Election Service, from the Ministry of Interior, as well as electronically from the elections website at elections.gov.cy. Statements may be submitted in hard copy at the above locations, as well as online at aps.elections.moi.gov.cy
