Starting today at 11:00 AM, the Central Election Commission (CEC) will begin informative meetings with citizens from the diaspora who are currently in Kosovo during this holiday period.
From August 11 until August 29, 2025, on working days (Monday to Friday) from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM, Kosovo citizens living abroad can visit the Central Election Commission headquarters and the offices of the Municipal Election Commissions to receive information about the Local Elections process, with a special focus on registration and voting from abroad.
The CEC announces that the registration period for voters residing outside Kosovo to vote by mail in the Local Elections for Mayors and Municipal Assemblies, scheduled for October 12, 2025, is currently ongoing.
This registration period, which started on July 23, will end on August 29, 2025.
Until the deadline, all Kosovo citizens living abroad may apply to register as voters outside Kosovo. Registration applications must be submitted individually and can be made:
- via the CEC’s electronic platform at https://diaspora.kqz-ks.org, or
- by mail, sending the application to the CEC’s postal box in Kosovo.
Unlike the elections for the Kosovo Assembly, voting from abroad in the Local Elections will be conducted exclusively by mail, since the Law on General Elections specifies that voting at diplomatic representations does not apply in this type of election.
The mail-in voting period will begin on September 17 and end on October 11, 2025. This period applies only to citizens who successfully register as voters abroad during the registration period (July 23 – August 29, 2025).
