Bill for Adjusting Parliamentary Seats in Cyprus
November 6, 2025
The Ministry of Interior presented a bill to the Parliament aimed at increasing the number of parliamentary seats in Paphos while decreasing them in Nicosia. This adjustment is based on recent changes in the electoral register. Specifically, the seats in Nicosia will decrease from 20 to 19, while those in Paphos will increase from 4 to 5. Additionally, a new proposal addresses the issue of name similarities among candidates on ballots, allowing candidates to use nicknames or their spouse's surname. The bills have been referred for discussion in the relevant Committee.
