The Central Election Commission (CEC) has announced that it is technically ready to publish the final results of the December 28 elections, but is currently awaiting the expiration of the 48-hour deadline for submitting appeals to the Election Complaints and Appeals Panel (ECAP).
CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi told Reporteri.net that, as stipulated by law, the final results can only be announced after the completion of the appeal process before ECAP.
The counting of the final ballots was completed in the early hours of Friday, while the deadline for filing complaints remains open for 48 hours from the moment an alleged violation occurs.
“With the completion of the ballot counting, the CEC is technically ready to announce the final results of the early elections held on December 28. However, under the Law on General Elections, parties have the right to submit complaints to ECAP regarding the administration of the counting process within 48 hours of the alleged violation,” Elezi stated.
Efficient Completion of the Vote Count
The CEC emphasized that the vote-counting process was completed 12 days after election day, describing this timeframe as efficient and relatively fast given the scope and complexity of the process.
