Model of electoral management

ODIHR, Republic of Cyprus, Parliamentary Elections, 24 May 2026, ODIHR Needs Assessment Mission Report, accessed 9 November 2026

The election administration at all levels relies heavily on the permanent civil service and the overall responsibility for the organization and administration of elections rests with the MoI. The Ministry’s Permanent Secretary serves as the General Returning Officer (GRO) and is supported by the permanent Central Electoral Office, which currently has four employees, two women and two men.
