The registration process for voters outside Kosovo, who will participate in the early parliamentary elections, officially closed at midnight on Saturday.
The news was announced Sunday morning by CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi, who provided preliminary data from the registration process. A final assessment of all applications is expected to be completed later today.
“The period for registering voters outside Kosovo for the early parliamentary elections has concluded. According to preliminary data, over the 11-day registration period (26 November – 6 December) through the CEC’s online platform https://diaspora.kqz-ks.org, more than 84,700 applications were submitted. Of these, approximately 71,900 have been approved, around 6,700 were rejected, and roughly 5,900 applications are still under review,” Elezi stated.
He explained that the majority of registered voters opted to vote by mail, while only a portion will vote in person at Kosovo’s diplomatic missions abroad.
“From the total approved applications, over 51,000 voters registered to send their ballot packages to overseas postal addresses, about 2,500 will send their ballots to the CEC post box in Kosovo, and around 18,000 citizens are registered to vote physically at one of Kosovo’s diplomatic missions,” Elezi added.
