Contents

This election is a landmark, as it is the last elector where the presentation of the election booklet was necessary. Since the local elections of 2002, the Special Electoral Number has been established and the participation of the voter is done by showing any identification document (ID card, driving license, etc.). [2]

They were also characterized by the large electoral reversal in favour of PASOK, 44% against 43% of New Democracy, a difference of 73,133 votes. New Democracy was ahead for over three hours of the count and with the integration of Athens B in the national results, PASOK took the lead, resulting in speculation about fraud. [3]
