Cyprus goes to the polls today in one of the most closely contested and politically charged elections of recent decades, with the political landscape looking more fluid than ever and parties fighting for every last vote to determine the new make-up of the House of Representatives.

From 7 am, more than 568,000 citizens are heading to the ballot boxes at 1,217 polling stations in Cyprus and abroad to elect the 56 MPs who will serve for the next five years.

Today’s vote is not simply a parliamentary contest; it is seen as a crucial political test for the parties, their leaderships and the relationship between citizens and the political system.
