As soon as Prime Minister Mitsotakis asked the president to dissolve the parliament and hold general elections on May 21, the election campaign of the Greek parties officially began.

Symbolically, the head of the government aiming for a second four-year term has chosen his birthplace in Hania, Crete, where he has asked his supporters to vote for him to implement the conservatives' program that, according to him, will make Greece even stronger economically.

"No government since the establishment of democracy has faced so many obstacles. And yet, we overcame it all. Our borders remained impregnable. And with a gigantic program that exceeded 50 billion euros, families, businesses and jobs were supported," Mitsotakis said.

While Alexis Tsipras, his main rival and leader of the largest opposition party Syriza, has warned from a rally in a suburb of Thessaloniki that the Mitsotakis system in force will use any means to keep power, so he has demanded a victory for his party that will bring change.

"This regime will do everything to cling to the seats of power, to prevent the political change that is coming. It won't work, but you should know: Provocations, blackmail, bribes, fake news, fake polls and desertions will be used in the coming days by the Mitsotakis regime," Tsipras said.

About 430,000 young people between the ages of 17 and 21 will vote for the first time in the May 21 elections, and it is estimated that 40% of them are undecided about which party they will vote for. The Ministry of the Interior shows on its official website the procedure for how young voters can find the center where they vote.

In almost 9.9 million voters, 51.3% of the electorate are women and 48.4% are men. Citizens vote with an identity card or passport or vehicle license or individual health card of all insurance funds.

The May 21 elections will be the first in which approximately 22,000 Greeks living abroad who meet the conditions set by the government's draft law can vote from their place of residence.
