Turks in north can vote in Turkish elections

Turkish passport holders in the north will be able to begin voting in the Turkish presidential and parliamentary elections starting from Saturday.

They will have three days to cast their votes between 9am and 9pm where voting booths have been set up in a primary school close to the Turkish ‘embassy’ in northern Nicosia.

Both the presidential and parliamentary elections will be held on June 24 in Turkey.

In case of a second round for either of the elections, the procedure will be repeated from June 30 until July 2.

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.
