705,357 registered voters in Cyprus will be able to choose from over 7,000 candidates in elections for members of the European Parliament and local administration.
The fact described in the text is that the interior minister is expected to issue decrees mandating that the final say on permits will rest with the technocrats in the district-level organizations, not the elected officials.
The first election results on June 9 are expected to come out by 7.30pm on Sunday night, with final results expected to be received by 7-8am on Monday morning.
There are more than 7,000 candidates running in the upcoming EU and local government elections in Cyprus. Voters will have to choose among 12 political party combinations and independent candidates. The ballot papers are printed in different colors to help voters differentiate between the various elections. Two communities did not have candidates, and others did not meet the required number of candidates for community council members, so a new date will be set for those elections.
The submission process for candidate nominations in district administrations and municipalities in Larnaca was completed on Wednesday. People in Larnaca are voting in June to elect district governors, mayors, deputy mayors, municipal councillors, and members of school boards. Angelos Hadjicharalambous and Evangelos Evangelides submitted their candidacies for the role of district governor.
