“in the 2019 elections have applied 40, 313 people and, after verification, 35,087, while 20,200 people have submitted the package by mail. In this election let's see what the number of those who will send their package of balloting via post-mail” will be, Elezi has said about Klan Kosovo.

Voting for citizens abroad has started on February 2nd and will end on 12th, under the law in effect.

The law imposes that ballotes be accepted by the CEC 24 hours before Election Day.
