The Central Election Commission (CEC) convened its 61st meeting this year, which was chaired by Kreshnik Radoniqi and conducted electronically. A key decision reached during the session was the adoption of the standard operating procedure (SOP) for activities at the Counting and Results Center (CRC). This newly adopted procedure establishes the comprehensive framework governing the organization, functioning, and specific responsibilities of the CRC throughout the entire election process.
The document meticulously regulates all stages involved, ensuring uniformity and accountability. The scope of the SOP begins with the initial reception of election materials at the Municipal Counting Centers. It covers various voting modalities, including conditional voting, procedures for voters with special needs, and absentee voting conducted from outside Kosovo.
Furthermore, the guidelines extend through the crucial phases of vote counting, verification, and any necessary recounts. The procedure also details the process of tabulation and the final publication of election results. The CEC’s adoption of this SOP aims to standardize procedures, thereby enhancing transparency and efficiency across all levels of the electoral administration.
This formalization of processes is intended to support the integrity and smooth execution of future electoral cycles.
