The front page editorial of this daily writes that almost a month has passed since the general elections were held, and the results of the elections have not been certified yet. Central Election Commission continues making statements for a regular election process however delay of the results speaks about a clumsy one. This daily considers that politicians are also to be blamed for the delays, since they failed to complete the elections reform in two years.

The New Kosovo Alliance (AKR) expressed its concern over the voting process which, they claim, resulted in irregularities. AKR said it is currently verifying election results and will decide on future steps depending on the final assessment. AKR urged the Central Election Commission (CEC) to recount all votes as fraud is evident.

Member of the Central Election Commission Florian Dushi stated that more than ten days are required to certify the results of the 8 June elections. The final result of the elections is not expected to be announced prior to the counting of the votes cast outside their designated polling stations as well as those coming from abroad. “After the announcement of the results, political parties and candidates will have 24 hours to submit their complaints on the results or the procedures. Only after the conclusion of the complaints can we announce the official results,” said Dushi.

The Central Election Commission (CEC) was not able to provide preliminary results of the vote counting yesterday, even though they have announced that in their last press conference on Sunday. The head of the CEC, Valdete Daka, said that the early results do not include the votes of people who voted outside their normal polling stations, votes sent by mail, and votes of persons with special needs, adding that votes from 17 polling stations had still not be counted. As of yesterday evening, on the CEC web page, only 99.62 percent of votes had been counted.

Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) is managing to keep 5 percent lead from Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) at a time when ballots from less than 100 polling stations have yet to be counted. It seems the difference between parties will remain as it is considering that most of the uncounted votes are from the predominantly-Serb northern part of Kosovo.

PDK has received 30.97 percent while LDK has 25.87 percent.

Behgjet Pacolli’s New Kosovo Alliance is definitely not making the 5 percent election threshold as it currently stands at 4.69 percent.

The Central Election Commission (CEC) commended yesterday’s elections and thanked the people of Kosovo for their valuable contribution to the process. In a statement to the press, the CEC said the counting of ballots is ongoing according to plan. It also thanked the media for continuing to present preliminary results based on CEC data.

The paper reports on the front page that the Central Election Commission announced preliminary results showing the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) in first place with 30.94%, followed by the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) with 26.29%. The data came from 90 percent of polling stations. The New Kosovo Alliance (AKR), which was part of the coalition government with the PDK, failed to cross the 5 percent threshold. Vetevendosje, led by Albin Kurti, secured around 14 percent and the Haradinaj-led Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK) received 10 percent.

Member of the Central Election Commission, Nenad Rikalo, said it has been decided that all valid documents can be used during the voting in general elections. Rikalo stated for the Serbian news agency Tanjug that voters could also use personal identification documents from Serbia, if they are registered in the election lists.

“All valid documents, such as ID card, passport, card or evidence of being displaces, UNMIK ID which is not valid, will be accepted in the elections day,” he said.

Conditional vote will be allowed in the upcoming parliamentary elections to be held on June 8^th.

A spokesman of the Central Election Commission Valmir Elezi said that conditional voting is a legal option that can be used by eligible voters who for some reason cannot vote at their polling places.

"Conditional voting can be realized at each polling station," said Elezi.

The CEC confirmed that about 1.8 million people have the opportunity to exercise their right to vote in the upcoming parliamentary elections in Kosovo.

The Central Election Commission (CEC) has reported that all election preparations have been completed. The total number of monitors in the elections is 27,733. “The ballot-printing process has been finalized, and all election materials are of high quality, as they were in the 2013 local elections”, says an announcement from the CEC.
