For the first time in the history of the electoral processes in the Republic of Kosovo, citizens with the right to vote in four municipalities of the northern part of the country will not go to the polls to elect the mayor of the municipality, but to decide whether they want to dismiss them or not.
The voting process that is expected to be held on April 21 in the four municipalities, Leposaviq, North Mitrovica, Zveçan, and Zubin Potok, is very different from the processes we are used to seeing being organized.
This time, also the CEC will not approve ballots with a list of candidates competing for mayor of the municipality, but a ballot with questions to which the voters of these four municipalities will have to answer.
The spokesperson of the CEC, Valmir Elezi, has said that the CEC will approve the design and content of the ballot in one of the next meetings, and that the specific question that will be put on the ballot will be decided by the CEC.
Asked by KosovaPress, what is the difference between this voting process and other election processes that we are used to seeing in the country, Elezi said that the citizens will not choose the candidates for mayors, but will decide on the existing ones.
