Voting is proceeding smoothly and voters continue to turn out at their local polling stations.
Therefore, I would like to thank the voters for their excellent behaviour, the officials manning the polling stations, as well as the staff of the Electoral Officers and members of the Cyprus Police, for the professionalism and dedication they have shown in responding to the task entrusted to them.
I would also like to express my thanks to the representatives of the candidates for their cooperation throughout this electoral process.
Finally, I would like to express my special thanks to my colleagues at the Ministry of Interior and especially to the Assistant Inspector General and the Election Supervisors.
In less than an hour, this vote will be closed.
In less than an hour, this vote will be over. I urge voters who wish to exercise their right to vote to get to the polling stations on time, and certainly before 6:00 p.m.
By 5:00 p.m. 379,554 persons voted, representing 67.6% of all registered voters.
In the 2018 Presidential Elections, the corresponding figure was 66.2%, demonstrating an increase of 1.4 percentage points.
