Greek citizens living abroad have the right to vote in national elections, with polling stations set up in various countries to facilitate the voting process.
With the participation of the Greek community in Australia, the Consulate General of Greece in Sydney and Melbourne encourages all eligible voters to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming parliamentary elections.
Greek citizens living in Australia who have successfully registered through the platform of the Ministry of the Interior, apodimoi.gov.gr, are invited to vote in the parliamentary elections on Saturday, May 20, from 7am to 7pm.
The electoral process for residents of New South Wales, Queensland, and the Australian Capital Territory will be held at the premises of the Consulate General of Greece in Sydney, located at Level 2, 219-223 Castlereagh Street, Sydney NSW 2000.
Meanwhile, the electoral process for residents of Victoria, South Australia, Western Territory, and Tasmania will be held at the premises of the Consulate General of Greece in Melbourne, located at 37-39 Albert Road, Melbourne Victoria, 3004.
To vote, eligible voters must have with them a Greek Police Identity Card or a Greek Passport. The Consulate General of Greece in Sydney and Melbourne reminds all eligible voters to bring their identification documents with them to ensure a smooth and efficient voting process.
The parliamentary elections in Greece are held every four years, with the latest round of elections scheduled for May 20. The ballot will be held under a proportional representation system that most analysts believe is unlikely to produce a clear winner.
If needed, follow-up polls will be held by early July at the latest. A new law would apply to a July ballot, giving the winning party between 20 and 50 additional seats in parliament, depending on its final result.
