Over 174 thousand applicants from the diaspora have applied for the February 14th election

While processing applications data is expected to be completed today.

“Operation of opening emails is complete and we are now in the data processing phase that we consider to be completed today. Over 174 thousand applicants who have applied via email so far”, he said.

Ahmetaj says he will make continued raids during this process.

The “these data we have is preliminary, not final. We'll do continuous checks. These figures through each operation do not represent the same figure because they are preliminary.

We'll eliminate double or triple applications then we'll have real numbers. We've been at this service for 24 hours yesterday. Ten thousand apps are not rejected, once complete, if they manage to bring the documents required by the secretariat, we will make this improvement. So far we have no applicant that has been rejected”, he said.

On the other hand, Central Election Commission Chairman Valdete Daka called for citizens not to send their email more than once, as she said, each email will be opened.
