The Central Election Commission (CEC) has finalized the recounting of 185 votes related to the parliamentary elections held on April 7. During a press conference, CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi confirmed that while the institution is technically prepared to announce the final results, legal protocol requires a mandatory 48-hour period for submitting any concluding appeals regarding the vote recounting process. This appeal window commences at 12:00 on Friday.
Should any formal appeals be lodged, the matter will proceed through review by the Electoral Panel for Appeals and subsequently by the Supreme Court. The recent recounting was executed following a directive from the CEC, adhering to the established Electoral Rules governing the Center for Counting and Results, measures designed to address potential procedural discrepancies. The completion of this detailed recounting of the votes marks a significant procedural milestone in the overall elections timeline.
The focus now shifts to the legal review period, which dictates the next steps before final certification. All stakeholders are advised that the adherence to this stipulated timeframe is necessary to ensure the integrity and legality of the final tally. The CEC emphasized that this mandatory pause ensures that all parties have the opportunity to review the counts and submit any necessary challenges concerning the allocated votes.
