The Central Election Commission (CEC) commenced the process of counting votes cast by the diaspora on Friday evening, a procedure anticipated to continue over several days. According to CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi, more than 85,700 ballot packages were retrieved from the 23 mailboxes designated for this type of voting. A majority of these packages have already been evaluated by the CEC voting service and are prepared for the official counting.
Following the completion of the postal vote counting, the CEC will proceed with the tabulation of conditional votes and votes cast by individuals with special needs. Specific figures have been provided for these categories: conditional voting was enabled in 52 polling stations, registering 8,751 voters, while 3,144 voters registered for specialized needs voting conducted via mobile teams outside traditional polling sites. Before the counting of these subsequent ballots can begin, the CEC is undertaking a crucial preparatory step.
They are currently scanning the voter lists utilized at regular polling stations to compare data and identify any potential instances of double voting. This systematic review ensures the integrity of the electoral process. The continuous counting of votes across these various streams—diaspora, conditional, and special needs—is central to the final tabulation of election results.
