Accountability demanded for errors on CEC forms that led to recount
(KTV)
The lack of a column for inserting the results of Egyptian Liberal Party is one of the reasons that led to recount of more than 800 polling stations.
The Count and Results Centre came across such errors in 453 out of 844 ballot boxes.
The missing column error was made even prior to elections by CEC, respectively by the CEC Secretariat, which is responsible for printing the forms and which sent them for printing while they contained this error.
Asked about this, CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi said that upon completion of the electoral process, this issue will be dealt with as well, without giving details if measures will be taken.
Democracy Plus organization, on the other hand, says such errors have affected citizens’ trust in the entire electoral process.
The printing, packaging and shipping of ballots and brochures for these elections cost the Central Election Commission about 194,000 euros.
The contract winner was the Group of Economic Operators “Cetis” and “CETKOS” from Slovenia.

Valmir Elezi, spokesperson for the Central Election Commission, reported this to Klan Kosova.
After the recount of these votes, it is expected that the counting of conditional ballots and those of people with disabilities will begin.
The number of conditional votes at the country level is about 26,400, while the number of votes of people with disabilities is about 2,150.
“These votes will undergo controls, comparisons and verifications with regular voters and then it will be clear how many of them will be approved and rejected. Only the approved ballots will be counted,” Elezi highlighted.
