The Hellenic Congress of America in collaboration with the Federation of Central Greece USA and Canada and the Arcade Associations "Geros tou Morias", Evrytanon "To Karpenisi", Kastoria "Omonia" organizes its first Special Conference on the Voting Rights of Greeks Abroad from their place of residence, on Saturday, May 14, 2022, in the community hall "Nikos Andriotis" of Agia Aikaterini / Agios Georgios in Astoria from 11:30 to 4 in the afternoon.

Intense political fermentation procedures are activated by the bill of the Ministry of Interior to facilitate the voting of expatriates. The government is called upon to face the difficult constitutional equation and get a majority of at least 200 deputies to approve the proposed regulations. Based on the starting positions of the parties, the promoted provisions can so far count on 190 positive votes from New Democracy, Movement for Change and Greek Solution. This means that the positive vote of SYRIZA or the KKE is required - since the 9 deputies of MeRA25 are not enough to pass the threshold foreseen by the constitution.

Greeks who live abroad will be able to register for national elections on an e-platform that will go live in spring 2020, Interior Minister Takis Theodorikakos said on Thursday.
