The Chief Electoral Officer Dr Kostas Constantinou, in his statement on the start of voting, answered questions from journalists.
Asked to answer whether citizens' access to the polling stations in the mountain communities has been ensured, he confirmed that "all polling stations have opened on time."
"Consequently, all the officials who were supposed to staff these centres have been at the polling stations since 6 a.m.," he said.
He said that "to make this possible in the Limassol and Nicosia districts in the mountainous communities, and especially in the mountainous Pitsilia and mountainous Marathasa, crews from the Limassol and Nicosia district administrations made sure that the roads were opened."
He added that "salt was placed at specific points of the road network where there were frost problems, so that officials could reach the polling stations unhindered and also so that the public could move around later without any problems."
