Under the proposed bill, citizens seeking to avail themselves of postal voting privileges will need to make their request through the dedicated platform on gov.gr.

Access to the platform requires the use of the voter’s Taxisnet credentials for authentication. Furthermore, individuals must declare their intention to submit a postal vote at least 40 days before the election day, utilising the online platform.

Upon declaration of intent, a confirmation SMS will be dispatched to the voter’s mobile phone, facilitating electronic tracking of the ballot envelope until its delivery to the specified address. To ensure the validity of their vote, citizens must accurately complete, seal, and return the envelope to the appropriate Greek authorities by June 8, a day preceding the European Elections.
