VLEN deputies highlighted during a recent press conference that amendments to the Electoral Code constitute a critically important component of the nation’s broader reform agenda and its commitment to aligning with European standards. Deputy Bekim Qoku articulated that, since the last leadership meeting, VLEN has maintained that this process must extend beyond mere technical revisions. Instead, it must address substantive matters designed to expand democratic participation across the populace.
A key area of focus, according to Qoku, is the enhancement of voting opportunities for citizens residing in the diaspora. He stressed the necessity for establishing mechanisms that allow expatriates to exercise their right to vote with greater ease. Specifically, VLEN advocates for implementing voting options—such as electronic voting or other secure, transparent, and reliable methodologies—that meet established international benchmarks.
Qoku concluded by stating that the current approach, which involves blockades centered on thousands of proposed amendments, does not serve the goal of effective reform. The group views the comprehensive modernization of electoral laws as an important step toward strengthening democratic processes within the country. The emphasis from VLEN remains on achieving systemic improvements that bolster citizen engagement and international compliance in electoral matters.
