Extensors alert the lack of security on ballot papers, the CEC explains the tape tape issue

It is a large number of exiles, who are registered as voters outside Kosovo, who have expressed doubts about the type of ballot.

A few days now, I Clancosova. tv has accepted a host of such complaints, where exiles have said the ballots contain no serial numbers, broadcasts Periscope.

They have also stated that these ballot papers also lack tape.

For this, exiles have raised doubts about the danger of counterfeiting their vote, which they willingly express to choose political representatives in their homeland.

In addition, there have been Muhamet Idrizi, Albanian politician from the ranks of the Hamburg Parliament, who has raised concerns about the safety of diaspora ballots.

Days ago, through a Facebook post, Idrizi has been alarmed that election documents sent so far for voters abroad do not own safety tape, questioning the integrity and investigative of election materials.

But, to these allegations, the Central Election Commission has reacted, which has come up with a clarification of the lack of tape attached to the ballot package through mail.

The CEC has said the absence of an additional tape tape does not affect the validity of the ballot.

The CEC reports that, as in early elections for the Kosovo Assembly, which were held in December 2025, even in the current early elections for the Kosovo Assembly, there is no pre-representation of the KEC's glue tape, which was used in the 2025 local elections. The voting process by mail is carried out so that voters place the ballot in the secret envelope, which closes with the standard tape the envelope itself owns, the statement said.

According to the CEC, this institution has consistently undertaken security measures in the voting process abroad.

The “reductions, which are placed in the individual package, are balloting containing the security elements, similar to the ballots used in Kosovo, in the polling process at the location. These security elements are designated by the CEC in the Election Order for balloting and brochures. They contain at least three security features that make them protected from cheating or counterfeiting. These features include microtype, UV printer and element “anti-copy”, which shows distinguishing marks in case the copy of the document” is applied in the CEC's statement.

Similarly, the CEC has clarified that each ballot that has been sent to voters outside Kosovo for voting via mail is sealed in the back, with a black seal.

So the stamp on these ballot papers is black and does not mean that the ballot is a copy. In addition to these elements, the vote by mail is provided with voters' equipment with registration report, a unique document the CEC sends to any applicant after it achieves successful votership outside Kosovo”, the CEC has said.
