Changes in Parliamentary Seats and New Voting Rights in Upcoming Elections

January 21, 2025

In the upcoming parliamentary elections, significant changes are anticipated, such as the reduction of seats in Nicosia from 20 to 19 and the increase of seats in Paphos from 4 to 5. These changes are due to new data in the electoral register, along with proposed laws for automatic registration and voting rights from age 17. The respective legislations are expected to be discussed in early February and voted on by May. If the participation of new voters is high, it could impact the electoral process.
