2021 Cypriot Legislative Election

Background

The 2021 parliamentary elections were the twelfth parliamentary elections in Cyprus. They were held on 30 May 2021 for the election of 56 of the 80 members of the House of Representatives for the XII Parliamentary Period.

Political System

Cyprus is a single democracy with a presidential system of governance. The President of the Republic of Cyprus, directly elected in the middle of the legislative period, is both head of state and head of government, and chairs the Executive Cabinet. However, proportional elections for the House of Representatives facilitate multi-partyism, where the elected president's party usually joins other smaller parties to form a co-operation government that usually adapts to parliamentary changes after parliamentary elections.

Electoral System

The 80 seats of the House of Representatives are elected by six multiple constituencies, with the number of seats distributed according to the population of each district. Of 80 places, 56 were up for election in 2021.

Voting Rights and Election Process

Parliamentary elections in Cyprus are held every five years, unless otherwise specified by law. The House of Representatives is composed of 80 members, with 24 seats reserved for the Turkish Cypriot community in the northern part of the island. The remaining 56 seats were up for election in 2021.

Election Results

The elections took place on 30 May 2021 to elect 56 of the 80 Members of the House of Representatives. The results of the election determined the composition of the House of Representatives for the XII Parliamentary Period.
