The Ministry of the Interior has set 2 April 2026 as the final date for submitting applications for registration on the electoral roll ahead of the parliamentary elections scheduled for 24 May. After that date, no new registrations or changes can be made.
New voters are therefore urged to submit their applications in time to ensure they can exercise their voting rights without impediment.
Eligibility criteria
According to an announcement by the Ministry of the Interior, the right to vote is granted to all citizens of the Republic aged 18 and over who have had their habitual residence in Cyprus for the past six months.
Young people who turn 18 by the date of the elections are also entitled to register, provided that their application is submitted during the final quarterly revision of the electoral roll before the elections, from 3 January 2026 until 2 April 2026.
Turkish Cypriots holding an identity card of the Republic of Cyprus with an address in the government-controlled areas are also entitled to register.
