Poll

Greece's conservative New Democracy party held a commanding lead in Sunday's parliamentary election, an exit poll showed, with former Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis set to clinch a second term in office.

Over 25,600 Greeks living abroad go to the polls Saturday, the second time that the diaspora can participate in national elections in their place of residence.

The 25,610 Greeks who are registered in the special electoral rolls abroad will vote in 35 countries around the world, where polling stations have been set up in 85 cities.

While voters with digital IDs may use them to identify themselves at polling stations on Sunday's general election, they may face delays, an Interior Ministry official has warned.

As MPs in Parliament overwhelmingly ratified a new law giving Greeks abroad the right to vote in national elections here back in December 2019, no one had imagined that the uptake would be as disheartening as it is today.

Voting will be repeated in the presidential elections at the 21st polling station, while voting for MPs will be repeated at 43 polling stations, it was decided last night at RIK's two separate sessions.
There are places where the repeated voting will coincide for both the president and the parliament.
