The Government Spokesman, Mr Christos
Stylianides, speaking yesterday following the Council of Ministers, said that
the Council approved the amending law on Civil Registry aiming at the amendment
of the basic law so that it is possible to automatically register to the
electoral list those who have a right to vote.
Mr Stylianides added that the Council of
Ministers also approved the amending law on the election of MEPs, aiming at the
automatic registration to the special electoral list for constituents of all
the citizens of the Republic that reside in the areas of the Republic of Cyprus
in which the Government of the Republic of Cyprus does not exercise effective
control, who have the right to vote and hold an identity document of the
Republic.
The Government Spokesman concluded by
saying that it is already known that this decision has to do with the
participation of Turkish Cypriots in the next European Parliament Elections and
that it is an equal participation for all the citizens of the Republic of
Cyprus and this bill is moving to the House of Representatives for approval.
