Parliamentary procedure

How, when, and where to vote

Voters are called to the ballot box on Sunday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. to elect 21 candidates from 31 parties who will represent Greece in the European Parliament until 2029.

Voters who opted for postal voting but either did not send their vote or sent it late can vote in person after 11 a.m. at their registered polling station.

Alas the lazy voters

It is so unbelievably frustrating to see fellow-citizens so breezily giving up their right to vote so they can have a day on the beach. Let's say that we can forgive youngsters who refuse to take anything seriously and don't think their vote is that important in any case. But I cannot find any excuse for those voters who treat voting like something they only do when they can be bothered.

A postal vote, at last

Skepticism - whether sincere or spurious - of the postal vote can no longer be justified. The system works and has defied its detractors.

It worked simply and reliably, which is why it can also be expanded to cover parliamentary elections, hence also increasing the ability of citizens residing outside of Greece to exercise their right to vote. 

No filters

With their selection, voters always have the final say on the representatives they send to the Greek and European parliaments. Political parties, however, define the range and quality of the available choices.
