When is the Cyprus presidential election 2028?

Polling day is 2028-02-20, not yet officially confirmed.

When will the final result of the President of the Republic race be official?

Expected between 2028-02-20T17:00:00Z and 2028-02-22T21:59:59Z (UTC), confidence precedent. Law 37/1959 s.34(6): 'When the counting of the votes has been completed the Returning Officer shall forthwith declare' elected the candidate with more than 50% of the valid votes; otherwise a new poll is held between the two leading candidates (s.34(7); Constitution art. 39(2)), a week later. The Chief Returning Officer publishes the name of the person elected in the Gazette (s.36). A recount may be ordered before the declaration where the result is in reasonable doubt (s.34(8)). Precedent: in 2023 the official round-1 result was announced on polling night, 5 Feb 2023 (Euronews), and the runoff winner was proclaimed on polling night, 12 Feb 2023 at 18:00 GMT (VOA/Reuters). The opening (19:00 EET) is an ESTIMATED floor; the window closes at the end of Tuesday 22 Feb 2028, EET, two days past precedent, to allow for a recount. Election petitions go to the court after the result, with no confirmation step, so there is no court-validation stage.
