May 28, 2026
The Elections Service addressed concerns about seat allocation, clarifying that initial announcements were based on unofficial results. Director Menelaos Vasiliou stated that official results are established only after strict checks. The system used an algorithm that predicted allocations based on unofficial data, leading to confusion. The Service emphasized that controls worked correctly and official results were confirmed early in the morning. It was suggested not to announce seats during the flow of unofficial results to avoid misunderstandings.
