According to the Greek Constitution, Greeks living abroad already have the right to vote in Greek elections but it was only in 2019 when this was to some extent facilitated by allowing them to vote at centres from their country of residence though the new rules fell short of giving them postal voting rights. Lesbos deputy of the Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) Yiannis Bournous and Greek Communist Party (KKE) deputy Manolis Syntihakis focused on the governments decision to facilitate the right of Greeks to vote abroad from their place of residence with an amendment to a 2019 law allowing for polling centres to be created in foreign countries for the first time. The measure required at least 200 votes in the 300-member Greek Parliament but fell short with just 190 votes.
