The Politis newspaper reports that, with this rate being the lowest among member states, it falls well below the EU average of 68%.

Additionally, the article notes that Cyprus is significantly distant from Denmark, which boasts an 86% participation rate. The reasons cited for Greek Cypriots' reluctance to participate include prioritizing support for a political party as the primary criterion, followed by endorsing a specific candidate and considering their civic duties as the third criterion.

The Eurobarometer results also indicate that only 41% of South Cyprus residents hold a positive view regarding the EU.
