2000 Greek parliamentary election

Parliamentary elections were held in Greece on 9 April 2000.<ref name=NS>Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, p830 Template:ISBN</ref> The ruling PASOK of Prime Minister Costas Simitis was narrowly re-elected, defeating the conservative New Democracy party. Simitis formed his third cabinet.

This election is a landmark, as it is the last elector where the presentation of the election booklet was necessary. Since the local elections of 2002, the Special Electoral Number has been established and the participation of the voter is done by showing any identification document (ID card, driving license, etc.).<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>

They were also characterized by the large electoral reversal in favour of PASOK, 44% against 43% of New Democracy, a difference of 73,133 votes. New Democracy was ahead for over three hours of the count and with the integration of Athens B in the national results, PASOK took the lead, resulting in speculation about fraud.<ref>Template:Cite web</ref>
