Voting has begun in Cyprus to elect a new parliament, with more than half a million people eligible to cast ballots.
The vote is unlikely to alter power dynamics immediately, as executive authority remains with the directly elected president, Nikos Christodoulides. However, it is seen as a key test of public sentiment ahead of a 2028 presidential race.
