Next Greek parliamentary election

In the June 2023 parliamentary election, Kyriakos Mitsotakis was elected to the office of Prime Minister of Greece once again, replacing caretaker Prime Minister Ioannis Sarmas. His party, New Democracy, obtained an absolute majority in Parliament with 158 MPs. Coming second and representing the official parliamentary opposition was Syriza, which had its seats nearly halved from the 2019 Greek parliamentary election, from 86 down to 47 in June 2023. Minor parties Spartans, Victory (Niki), and Course of Freedom entered Parliament for the first time, while previously elected parties (PASOK – KINAL, KKE, and Greek Solution) increased their seats and voting percentages compared to 2019. Syriza leadership elections and splits On election night, Alexis Tsipras announced that he would propose leadership elections within Syriza, later announcing his full resignation and withdrawal from any potential leadership race four days later. Syriza's leadership race went into a second round between Effie Achtsioglou and party outsider Stefanos Kasselakis. leading to the first major split from Syriza since the last one in 2015 (Popular Unity) and the creation of New Left two months into his leadership. as well as rapid and unpopular internal changes to the party, Kasselakis was ousted from the presidency by a vote of no-confidence in the Central Committee on 7 September and fresh elections were called. In Athens, the ecologist PASOK-backed Haris Doukas was elected mayor on the second round, defeating incumbent New Democracy-backed Kostas Bakoyiannis, after gaining the backing of Kostas Zachariadis, the third-placed candidate backed by Syriza. In Thessaloniki, PASOK-backed Stelios Angeloudis defeated New Democracy-backed Konstantinos Zervas on a landslide of 34 points. 2024 European Parliament election In June 2024, European Parliament elections took place. In Greece, New Democracy topped the poll but at a much lower percentage than the June 2023 parliamentary election, with 28% of the votes and electing 7 members of the European Parliament (MEPs). Newly elected mayor of Athens, Haris Doukas, as well as MP Pavlos Geroulanos, parties began announcing their candidates for the post. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis proposed Kostas Tasoulas, who won out in the end after four rounds of voting, with 160 votes out of 300, on 12 February 2025. Farming subsidies scandal (OPEKEPE) In May 2025, the "OPEKEPE scandal" broke out over the abuse of farming subsidies, from illegal ones, false declarations of farmland, and general covering-up of the entire scheme. Initiated by whistleblowers and an intervention by the European Public Prosecutor's Office, the scandal forced resignations of government ministers and caused a political turmoil. == Electoral system ==

Compulsory voting is in force for the elections, with voter registration being automatic; however, none of the legally existing penalties or sanctions have ever been enforced. In January 2020, soon after returning to power, New Democracy, which has always been a proponent of majority bonuses since 1974, passed a new electoral law to reinstate them, albeit under a significantly different formula. The party list coming first would receive 20 extra seats,(down from 50, with the constituency seats up from 250 to 280) provided it received at least 25% of the vote. Moreover, a new sliding scale disproportionality would help the larger party lists: those receiving between 25% and 40% of the vote would receive one seat for every half percentage point in this range (up to 30 seats) before the proper proportional distribution begins. A winning party may thus receive up to 50 extra seats; however, this 2020 law also lacked the supermajority to take immediate effect. As a result, it took effect in the second election after the passage of the law, namely the June 2023 parliamentary election. In the 2024 European Parliament election in Greece, citizens were allowed to vote by mail for the first time through a new process, where the possibility of voting from abroad through separate ballot boxes was abolished and the previous electoral rolls were wiped, and mail-in ballots were shipped upon registration to the new election rolls for mail-in voting. == Political parties ==
