High turnout in second round of SYRIZA elections
A high turnout has been recorded so far in the second round of elections for the nomination of SYRIZA’s new president.
The polls opened at 8 a.m. and by 3 p.m. on Sunday, approximately 80,000 members of SYRIZA, the main opposition party, cast their vote. The second round has, thus far, about 10% higher turnout than the first round the previous Sunday.
The process is faster today, as voters do not fill out membership forms and there are more vote recording tablets in the polling stations.
