This afternoon, 1.640 packages of ballots were brought to the Central Election Commission from Austria, which belong to the voting process by mail in the CEC mailboxes outside Kosovo, CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi told KosovaPress.

He said that according to the procedures, these ballot packages are initially subject to an evaluation process, which includes verifying whether they belong to registered voters and whether other prescribed procedures have been followed, while the counting of these ballots will take place at a later stage at the Counting and Results Center, after election day.

"The process of evaluating postal deliveries will also be able to be observed by observers accredited by the CEC, who will be notified in due time," said Elezi.

Currently, the voting by mail period is underway, which applies only to citizens who, during their registration as voters outside Kosovo, have individually determined the method of voting by sending the ballot by mail to one of the mailboxes opened by the CEC outside Kosovo, or by sending the ballot by mail to the CEC mailbox in Kosovo.
