Candidates' vote count expected to close Tuesday

And the country's counting rate has reached over 75 percent on Wednesday. So far, the process has been completed in 18 municipalities, mainly those with smaller numbers of voters.

The final stage of the count is Leposaviqi, Kachanic, Skenderaj, Istog, Kline and Rahoveci. And in Pristina the count has passed a quarter of the vote, while in Prizren more than 40 per cent.

In Gjilan the process has approached 50 per cent, while in all other municipalities more than half of the votes have been counted.

With this dynamic work, the last vote count will be completed by Pristina early next week.

However, this does not imply the outcome of the entire counting process because there are other votes that the count has not yet begun.

“It is about voting ballots from 30 diplomatic representatives, where they have voted 22 thousand and 414 citizens, then ballots from the post office vote in 23 mailboxes from where more than 85 thousand and 700 cases of supposed balloting have been withdrawn, then ballots from the conditional vote available at 52 polling sites, where 8 thousand and 751 voters and ballots from individual-needs voters who have been registered 3 thousand and 144 voters prove1>, KQ-Z spokesman Valmir Elez said.

Elez has said that activities are also taking place at the Counting and Results Centre.

By Wednesday morning, close to 7 thousand and 300 envelopes from the diaspora have been verified, more than 98 percent.

“From the bulk of the package that has been brought to Kosovo, the evaluation process has been subjected to more than 7 thousand, out of which 7 thousand and 153 have already been approved, 142 have already been rejected. The most frequent reason why these few were rejected is that, in 114 cases, the census report card” is missing, Elez said.

The QNR will also number about 10,000 ballots from conditional voting and disabled people.
