The Central Election Commission of Kosovo announces that from July 23 and until the end of the deadline, on August 29, 56,778 applications for registration for mail voting, of which 46.015 were approved. Meanwhile, another 10,094 applications have been rejected.
CEC spokesman Valmir Elezi told RTK that in most cases rejected, the applicants did not submit one of the documents proving the address outside Kosovo. According to him, the registration process was not excluded, as any rejected applicant has been notified of the reasons for refusal and the possibility of reapplying with the necessary registration documents.
“Only Kosovo citizens registered during the 38-day period will be able to vote via the post in the period which will begin on September 17 and will be completed on October 11, 2025,Elezi told RTK.
Elezi adds that based on the regulation on registration and voting outside Kosovo, the CEC will ensure that they send them by mail from abroad by post from abroad to vote by post from two ballots. Meanwhile, it is the duty of each of them who packs the ballot to one of the CEC mailboxes that open in different countries of the world and in Kosovo.
According to spokesman Elezi, it is a legal obligation for the CEC for Kosovo citizens who have been registered to vote from outside Kosovo to remove them from the local voter list, which is distributed to polling stations on election day.
“So, a citizen who enrolled to vote outside Kosovo will find his name for voting only on the voter list outside Kosovo. Meanwhile, Kosovo citizens living abroad and who are not registered for mail voting are on the list of voters within Kosovo, which is distributed to polling stations on election day”Elezi said
