Inflating the lists in Himare, the vice president of the CEC: 311 voters were

The residents of Himara will vote on Sunday, August 4 to elect the new head of the municipality.

23 thousand and 74 citizens have the right to vote, who will choose between two candidates, Vangjel Tavo of the Socialists and Petro Gjikuria of the opposition.

However, 311 new voters who have moved from other municipalities have been added to the list of voters in Himare. According to the vice president of the Central Election Commission, Lealba Pelinku, the figure is suspicious, which was confirmed by the Directorate of Civil Status, according to her. Pelinku says he will seek further investigation into this.

"As it seems at first glance, it is evident, 1/3 of 311, that is, 93 voters posted only in the last 4 days, is a very strong indication to understand that this was done as a function of the election process. But legally this is something that requires further investigation and the CEC, I in the capacity of deputy commissioner will request further information. The answer we received yesterday from the General Directorate confirms these doubts. I say it confirms because if we have 311 posted from the last list of April 2023 - July 2024, 93 were posted only in the span of five days, from July 5, that is, from the date of the decree, to July 10, the date of which was the last legally possible to approve the transfer request" , said Pelinku in an interview for A2 CNN.

Another concern related to these elections for CEC number 2 is the electronic identification operators.

"Regarding the current process, it must be said that we had the expectation that we would encounter an increased difficulty, as a result of the season in which it is happening, a period in relation to the electoral process that is inappropriate, and it must be said that thanks to a commitment, as that is to say, since only the municipality of Himare was in focus, there was an increased commitment in terms of finding operators, and until the moment we speak, we can say that every voting center is covered with operators. There may always be a risk that at the last moment, at 06:00 or 06:30, the time at which the operator must appear, we may have a withdrawal, which makes it impossible for us to replace, considering that the Voting Center Commission at 07.00 should open the process ", she said.
