Another phase of the counting process will begin next week, focusing on conditional votes and votes from abroad.
The spokesperson for the CEC, Valmir Elezi, stated that after completing all procedures, including scanning the list of voters registered at regular polling stations for comparison with voters from conditional polling stations, and assessing the packages with ballots from abroad, the CEC will begin counting the conditional votes, votes from persons with special needs, and votes from abroad.
He informed that the number of envelopes with ballots from conditional polling stations is 12,801, which will also undergo verification, while the number of votes from persons with special needs is 2,597.
Asked about other procedures, following the completion of counting at 38 Municipal Counting Centers, he explained that election materials from polling stations, including the list of voters who signed, will be sent to the Center for Counting and Results.
“One of the tasks in this center is the scanning of the signed voter lists from 2,533 regular polling stations on election day. Scanning the voter lists from regular polling stations is essential before we begin counting votes from conditional polling stations because it helps ensure that no one has voted twice—once at the regular polling station and once at the conditional polling station. After these processes are completed, the counting of conditional votes, votes from persons with special needs, and votes from abroad can begin,” he explained.
