The Cypriot Presidential Elections are held every five years in Cyprus to elect the President of the Republic. The elections typically involve multiple candidates representing various political parties, and the process includes a first round and, if necessary, a second round to ensure that the elected president has majority support. The elections are significant for the political landscape of Cyprus, influencing domestic policies and international relations, especially regarding the ongoing division of the island between the Greek Cypriot south and the Turkish Cypriot north. Voter participation is crucial, as it reflects the democratic engagement of the population.
