May 11, Celibashi: 109 extra ballots are found, we are conducting verifications

The head of the CEC, Ilirian Celibashi, stated in a press conference that the vote count nationwide resulted in 109 more ballots than the number of citizens who voted.

Celibashi explained that the CEC has begun verifications regarding the case, to see if there was an error by those who closed the minutes from the polling centers, or by the counters when they entered the data.

Among other things, he said that 9 ballot boxes were contested as irregular, 7 of which were declared as such at the moment of delivery, while 2 were contested as such by the CEAZ, after receiving the ballot boxes upon delivery.

Regarding diaspora votes, he said that so far 159,921 votes are valid, while 1,666 votes are invalid.

Ilrian Celibashi: There are 1,462,352 ballots found in the box, there are 1,462,461 voter counts recorded in the minutes that the polling center commissioners have compiled, there is a difference of 109 ballots between them.

Between the number of voters and the number of ballots. We are verifying where the error is throughout the territory. It is from those who closed the minutes or from those who counted when they entered the data.

Of the 1,462,352 ballots found in the boxes, 1,460,833 are valid votes and 55,519 are invalid. There are only 9 irregular boxes that resulted from the evaluation process, 7 of which were declared as such at the moment of delivery, while 2 were contested as such by the CEAZ after receiving the boxes in delivery.

Of the diaspora votes, 159,921 are valid so far, while 1,666 are invalid so far. We are currently reviewing the envelopes received from Greece, I believe I will finish today and then there will be a vote count for the candidates.
