Daka: Mayors to be elected despite low voter exit

Former head of the Central Election Commission, Valdete Daka, has said the mayors of municipalities in the north will be elected despite the small number of voters.

There will be no redress [of elections] unless the process is damaged, then yes. But, under regular circumstances, under the circumstances when citizens come out and vote and do their job, the polls close, the votes are counted... There will be no”, it has declared for the REL.

What happens if the percentage of exit is low, CEC spokesman Valmir Elez was asked at the conference that was held earlier.

Elez said that the Law for General Elections and Local Elections does not specify what the minimum percentage should be for the results to be certified by the CEC.

The CEC, of course, encourages citizens to express their will and, as we have clarified in many cases of past days, neither in the law on general elections nor in the local elections is the minimum percentage of participation in the election specified by KQZ”, Elez said.

Today, extraordinary elections for North Mitrovica mayors, Leposaviqi, Zubin Potok and Zvecan are under way, and early elections for the Leposaviqi and Zvecan municipalities
