A landmark bill lifting most restrictions on Greek citizens’ right to vote from abroad was approved by an enhanced majority of deputies in Parliament on Tuesday, with 208 MPs out of 300 approving the legislation.

The government's decision to remove current restrictions that prevent Greeks abroad from voting in Greece's elections from their country of residence, through a bill of the Interior Ministry, has mobilised Greek expatriates to make further proposals.

A total of 25,610 Greeks citizens living abroad have registered to vote from their place of residence on Saturday (June 24), one day ahead of a repeat ballot in the country, the ministry of the interior announced on Monday.
