According to Elez, Kosovo's “only citizens who are registered for voting from abroad will be able to vote via mail in the period, which will begin on September 17th and end on October 11th 2025”.

Furthermore, it has clarified that Kosovo citizens, who are registered for voting abroad, will leave the Voters' List inside Kosovo.

It is the legal obligation for the CEC that Kosovo citizens registered to vote from outside Kosovo, to remove from the list of voters within Kosovo, which is distributed in the polls, on Election Day. So, a citizen registered to vote outside Kosovo will find his name for the vote only on the Voters' List outside Kosovo”, Elez explained.
