The interior ministry on Monday urged would-be voters to “submit timely applications” to be registered on the electoral roll, as the deadline of April 2 for June’s elections near.

The April deadline concerns local government and European Parliament elections, which are set to take place simultaneously on June 9.

All citizens of Cyprus and the European Union who reside in Cyprus and are over the age of 18 on election day – those born on or after June 9, 2006 – have the right to vote.

Those aged 25 years old and over can register online at elections.gov.cy.

Paper applications can be obtained from district administrations, Citizens’ Service Centres and post offices, and can also be downloaded from the Electoral Service’s website and submitted at the same locations.

Polling stations will also be open overseas, in Greece, the United Kingdom and Belgium.
