During today’s session of the Central Election Commission (CEC), PDK member Arianit Elshani raised questions regarding the timeline for filing complaints related to the parliamentary vote recount.
Elshani asked whether the publication of final results complies with election law and CEC regulations, noting that political parties, candidates, and citizens have the right to submit complaints within the designated period.
The CEC met today to announce the final results of the December 28, 2025 elections, following the completion of the vote recount at the Counting and Results Center yesterday evening.
CEC Chair Kreshnik Radoniqi stated that no observers reported any irregularities during the recount process. He emphasized that the right to appeal remains fully available, as complaints can still be filed within 48 hours of any alleged violation.
Radoniqi added that the recount process lasted 18 days, and although two days remain for submitting complaints, no issues were raised. Extending the process further, he warned, would delay other election procedures and deadlines.
“We are not denying the right to appeal. After the announcement of the results, parties still have the opportunity to file complaints with the Election Complaints and Appeals Panel (PZAP) within 48 hours,” Radoniqi said.
