Horizontal voting and restoration of the 1.8% electoral threshold – Ecologists' initiative – Who responded positively

The Movement of Ecologists in Cyprus has launched an initiative to reform the electoral system, proposing the introduction of horizontal voting and lowering the parliamentary entry threshold back to 1.8%. Stavros Papadouris initiated the dialogue to address the underrepresentation of smaller parties, as approximately 17% of voters currently lack parliamentary voice. So far, EDEK, DIPA, and ALMA have responded positively to these discussions, aiming to increase electoral choice and ensure a more proportional distribution of legislative seats.
