Renumber of 530 locations has begun

CEC spokesman Valmir Elezi has shown all the reasons for the recount as he divided them into all five categories.

“From the audited results there are 149 locations in which candidates' votes do not match with political subject votes due to technical error in the form of political subjects' results. During the audit, it turns out that 24 locations have a technical problem of notification of the number of balloting, lack of pages or results are unclear. Of the findings from the audit results in 81 locations at these locations there are no votes in the political subject, but there are candidates/Candidians. At 89 locations, during the audit, it has been noted that the candidate has more votes than the political subject. In 187 polling results in candidates having more votes than political subject”, he said.

Elez voiced optimism that within a week the entire process will be completed, until he said that immediately after the recount is completed, counting on conditional votes and persons with special needs will begin.

We are hoping in the most optimistic option that within a week we will achieve the recount of these 530 locations. We're completely dependent on the capacities that are here in the QNR. We have 2022 counting tables. Also, the length of a voting box count depends on voter turnout in that poll during election day at that... after counting these polling votes will be counted on bail and persons with special needs. It's the last phase of preparation for that process, will be worked in that direction. Until the recount of these locations is done here, it will be worked to make the immediate start of conditional votes and persons with special needs”, Elesi said.

The CEC has made a decision during today's meeting to make it a recount, and after just a few days, the recount of 314 other locations on which there were doubts ended.
