April 2 deadline for electoral registration

THE INTERIOR Ministry has requested all Cypriots aged 18 and over, who have been residing in Cyprus for the past six months, to register in the electoral list before April 2 in order to be able to vote in the parliamentary elections on May 22.

Those who will turn 18 before May 22 are also eligible to register. After April 2 no registrations or amendments will be made to the electoral list.

Application forms are available at local District Offices, Citizen Service Centres, the Elections Department and the website of the Ministry of the Interior on www.moi.gov.cy.

Parliamentary elections take place every five years for the 56-seat House of Representatives. In its current form the house comprised six political parties.



The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
