(7 years ago)The fact that more than 800 seats have gone to the recount, according to civil society, has to do with misuse of official duty by commissioners. And punishment in case such a thing is found, is fine and imprisonment for up to five years. CEC Chairman Valdete Daka, during an interview, said the job [...]
CEC Chairman Valdete Daka, during an interview, said the dirty work of commissioners has led to a recount of this huge number of deployments.
That is about misuse of the official position in the election process, says Arton Demhay, the law's connoisseur, while the latter, based on the penal code, says that if such a thing is proved by the prosecution, then the commissioners will face fines and 5 years in prison.
“Potically perpetrators of criminal work with misuse of votes could be fined or sentenced to between 1 and 5 years in prison. It is irrational that there are so many technical errors in about 800 locations”, he said about RTV Dukagjin, Arton Demhaje.
The fact that so many locations will be recounted indicates that there may also have been misuse by commissioners.
And such a thing, according to Eugen Cacol of KDI, has dimmed citizens' trust in elections.
The fact that such a large number of polling sites will be recounted means that there has also fallen for a certain measure the level of citizens' trust in the election process in general since the beginning was assessed as transparent and well-organised. On the other hand, it is good for political subjects to understand the election outcome so that they do not complain in the future”, Eugen Cakoli said.
Initially, the recount went to 314 locations, while another 530 will be recounted.
During the day, CEC head Valdete Daka also called on police and prosecutors to be present during the recounting of votes.
