Cyprus RightsThe Republic of Cyprus claims the whole island, and owes every right that claim implies to every Cypriot. Cyprus Rights documents where that duty goes unmet for Turkish Cypriots — with sources.

The Republic's Central Elections Service describes automatic special-roll registration and an electronic roll for the Turkish Cypriot electorate at European Parliament elections

Corroborated

This is the highest status Cyprus Rights may assign on its own authority. It meets the independent-source thresholds set out in Cyprus Rights' editorial doctrine.

Facts

The Central Elections Service's published page 'Turkish-Cypriot electorate' states that Turkish Cypriots resident in areas outside the Republic's effective control, holding a Republic identity card issued by the civil registry system, are automatically entered on a Special Electoral Roll and may vote for European Parliament elections at special polling stations near the ceasefire line, not tied to a specific station, and that an electronic electoral roll is used at those stations to prevent duplicate voting.
