Mrs Zaloumis said that the Commission does not anticipate any further extension beyond 29 November 2025 and urged all unregistered citizens to take advantage of the additional days.

The media reports that this marks the second extension of the Mass Voter Registration exercise, which began on 13 October 2025 and had initially been scheduled to conclude today.
