Your math is fine starting from the 9,9m number but you didn't take into account what I wrote, which is that the total population of greece is 10,4 millions. Re

Your math is fine starting from the 9,9m number but you didn't take into account what I wrote, which is that the total population of greece is 10,4 millions. Registered voters are those >=17 years old
so only 500k are <17 which of course is not valid
EDIT: adding more data, official numbers state ~1,5m of age 0-14. Let's say 200k more in the 15-16 range, that is ~1,7m
10,4-1,7 = 8,7m >=17 years old.
Population of Greece dropped by about 400k between the previous and current census (2011-2021) while the registered voters number from 2009 elections hasn't changed.
I'm afraid that 1,7m gap is not justified at all, we locals have long heard of how bad the registered voters records are, still including a lot of dead people etc.
To not lose track, this thread is just to justify why the numbers in the OP are to be taken with a grain of salt
