The deadlines for certification of political entities for the early parliamentary elections to be held in Kosovo on December 28 begin today (November 24).
The CEC has left a 6-day weekly deadline, from November 24 to November 30, to political subjects (political parties, coalitions, civic initiatives and independent candidates) for the online completion of the application form for certification for participation in the elections.
“Starting from November 24 and until November 30, the subjects must submit to the CEC, respectively to the Office for Registration, Certification and Financial Control, the application for certification for participation in the early elections for the Assembly of Kosovo. The form, which is similar to the previous election processes, is located on the electronic platform of the CEC and the same must be completed online”. CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi declared for RTK.
Political entities (political parties, coalitions, citizens’ initiatives and independent candidates) have a 2-week deadline for submitting their lists of candidates for deputies.
“Starting from November 24 and until December 7, 2025, the political subjects must submit to the CEC the list of the names of the candidates for deputies who seek to be certified to participate in the early elections. This deadline marks a decisive moment in the electoral process, since it is precisely in this period that the political subjects will formalize the candidates for deputies with whom they will participate in the elections at the end of December“, Elezi added.
Also, until November 30, 2025 is the deadline for political parties to notify the CEC, respectively the Office, that they do not want to be certified for participation in the elections.
On November 20, President Vjosa Osmani decreed the holding of extraordinary elections on December 28, after the two candidates from the Vetëvendosje Movement, Albin Kurti and Glauk Konjufca, failed to form the government 9 months after the February 9 elections.
