Complaint to the KQZ/ 170,000 people with disabilities are deprived of the right

The right to vote is being denied to Albanians with disabilities. This is the concern expressed in the meeting of the Party of Persons with Disabilities with the secretary of the CEC, where the main issue is related to the electoral infrastructure that excludes the disabled from the elections.

"There are 170,000 of us in all of Albania, about 150,000 have the right to vote. We asked the CEC secretary first that the voting centers are only on the first floor for people with disabilities. As for the blind, they should at least be allowed to vote with a companion. They say that additional budget is needed and they do not approve it".

They feel unrepresented, so by creating a party dedicated to people with disabilities they hoped to participate in the May 14 local elections to meet the needs of their community. Although the party for people with disabilities has been accepted for registration, the second phase requires them to submit thousands of signatures of support by March 27 in order to be allowed to field candidates for the May 14 race.

"We are excluded because where do we bring out quadriplegics, people in wheelchairs to collect signatures".

Unlike other electoral subjects, the party of persons with disabilities think that there should be relief for them in the selection procedure. /TOP CHANNEL
