The Central Election Commission (CEC) of Kosovo will hold a regular meeting today, with the vote recount process listed as a key item on the agenda. The meeting is expected to address the possibility of a full recount of votes cast in the 28 December parliamentary elections.
During the session, the CEC will be presented with a report detailing findings from the recount process conducted so far, according to CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi, who confirmed the news earlier today.
“I inform you that today the Central Election Commission will hold its regular meeting. On the agenda is the report from the recount process carried out thus far at polling stations,” Elezi stated.
On 13 January, the CEC decided to initiate a recount of 914 polling stations across all municipalities of the Republic of Kosovo. In 10 municipalities, a 100% recount is being conducted: Dragash, Kaçanik, Leposaviq, Prizren, Skenderaj, Shtime, Ferizaj, Vushtrri, Mamushë, and Ranillug.
In the remaining 28 municipalities, including Prishtina, 10% of polling stations are being recounted: Deçan, Gjakovë, Gllogoc, Gjilan, Istog, Klinë, Fushë Kosovë, Kamenicë, South Mitrovica, Lipjan, Novobërdë, Obiliq, Rahovec, Pejë, Podujevë, Shtërpcë, Suharekë, Viti, Zubin Potok, Zveçan, Malishevë, Junik, Hani i Elezit, Graçanicë, Partesh, Kllokot, and North Mitrovica.
The CEC has left open the possibility of expanding the recount to include additional polling stations in municipalities where only partial recounts were initially approved, depending on the findings presented in today’s report.
