3,588,869 persons with the right to vote in Albania, today will have the opportunity to elect the MPs who will represent their will in the next four years in the Albanian Parliament. 1841 candidates from 13 parties, coalitions and independent candidates are running for 140 seats in the Albanian Parliament, of which 39.76% or 732 are female candidates. Electronic identification is one of the novelties of this electoral process in Albania. This will be applied throughout the country, while also preventing the possibility of double voting.
The Albanian voter will need to be identified by passing the ID card or biometric passport to the device. This also makes it impossible to vote for someone else. The moment the fingerprint does not match the ID card, then the device will also emit an acoustic signal that will alert all commissioners at the polling station. Electronic voting will be done for the first time in Albania. This will be a pilot project only in one constituency which coincides with the administrative unit no. 10 in Tirana. Manual voting and counting will be implemented in all other polling stations in the country.
