Greeks wishing to cast their ballots while living abroad can do so by submitting their relevant documentation online.
Greek Interior Minister Takis Theodorikakos said that Greek citizens abroad will be able to register for national elections on an e-platform set to go live in Spring 2020.
The historic bill legislating the particulars was passed in Greek Parliament last week after decades of debate.
It is still unknown how many potential Greek voters will take advantage of the new law that is of particular interest to hundreds of thousands of Greek citizens who left Greece in droves during the recent financial crisis.
The minister noted that an information campaign will soon be launched for diaspora Greeks. This campaign will urge them to sign up and will make clear the law’s benefits so that they can take advantage of the opportunity that is being given to them to vote from their place of residence.
