Parliamentary elections were held inGreece on 7 July 2019.[1][2] The elections were called by Prime MinisterAlexis Tsipras on 26 May 2019 after the rulingSyriza party lost theEuropean andlocal elections.[3] They were the first national elections since thevoting age was lowered to 17, and thenumber of parliamentary constituencies was increased from 56 to 59.Athens B, the largest constituency before the 2018 reforms, with 44 seats, was broken up into smaller constituencies, the largest of which had 18 seats.
The result was alandslide victory for thecentre-rightliberal conservativeNew Democracy party led byKyriakos Mitsotakis, which received nearly 40% of the vote and won 158 seats, an outright majority. This was Greece's first single-party majority government since 2009.

Compulsory voting was in force for the elections, with voter registration being automatic.[4] However, none of the legally existing penalties or sanctions have ever been enforced.[5]
A number of changes to the electoral system were introduced following theSeptember 2015 elections. Thevoting age was reduced from 18 to 17 in July 2016,[6] with the same law also abolishing themajority bonus system, which gave a 50-seat bonus to the largest party. Instead, all 300 seats would be awarded proportionally.[6] However, this law did not come into effect for the 2019 elections, as it was not approved with the requiredsupermajority despite theSyriza-led government expressing support for its introduction for the 2019 elections.[7] As a result, the previous system remained in force, with 250 seats elected in multi-member constituencies using a 3%electoral threshold, plus 50 bonus seats for the largest party.
Thenumber of parliamentary constituencies was also modified in December 2018, withAthens B split intoAthens B1 (North),Athens B2 (West), andAthens B3 (South), whileAttica was split intoEast Attica andWest Attica.[8]

A few minutes before the polls closed, a group of young protesters stormed the 33rd polling station in the distinct ofExarcheia, Athens, and stole the ballot box. A previously-unknownanarchist group, Ballot-seeking Arsonists, later claimed responsibility. It claimed to have burned the stolen ballot box. As a result, a repeat election at the same polling station was held a week later, on 14 July.[9][10] The results did not change the final allocation of seats because of the small volume of votes.
