Exit polls released following 2026 Cyprus parliamentary elections

Polls closed at 18:00 on May 24, 2026, marking the end of the parliamentary elections in Cyprus. Exit polls conducted by various broadcasters show a tight race between the DISY and AKEL parties for the top position. According to the CyBC exit poll, DISY leads with 22.5%–25.5%, followed by AKEL at 21%–24% and ELAM at 10.5%–12.5%. The projections indicate that eight parties are likely to enter the new parliament, including DIKO (8%–10%), Amesi Dimokratia (5.5%–7.5%), Alma (4.5%–5.5%), Volt (3%–4%), and EDEK (3%–4%). Voter turnout was reported to be significant, with over 60% of voters casting their ballots by 17:00, particularly in Nicosia where attendance was notably higher compared to previous periods. While media outlets agree on the leading positions, they noted variations in the projected percentages for smaller parties near the parliamentary threshold. Ballot counting is currently underway across all electoral districts. Official results will determine the exact distribution of seats and the new composition of the legislature.
