The June 17 elections are due to cost 30 percent less than the polls on May 6, it was decided on Tuesday.

The decision was taken during a meeting between caretaker Interior Minister Antonis Maniatakis and representatives of New Democracy, SYRIZA, PASOK, Independent Greeks, the Communist Party, Chrysi Avgi, Democratic Left and Ecologist Greens.
It was also decided at the meeting there would be no limit on the number of appearances that parliamentary candidates make on TV before the elections.
