The voting process at the “Yll Morina” School in Gjakova is proceeding smoothly. This was reported by the school principal, Aida Stublla, who noted that by 09:00 around 231 citizens had voted, while a total of 9,136 voters are registered across 10 polling stations.

“The process, as you can see, is going extremely well, with good citizen turnout… So far everything has been in order… This time we had planned two information desks, but only one candidate showed up, however I am assisting as the center manager… So far we have around 231 voters by 09:00… We have 10 polling stations in total, with 9,136 registered voters… The turnout is much higher compared to past local elections.”

She added that a special team has been assigned to assist persons with special needs, and so far no case requiring assistance within the polling center has been reported.

“For persons with special needs, there is a special team that goes directly to help them vote; otherwise, we have not recorded any cases needing assistance in our center,” said Stublla.

Interviewed citizens expressed satisfaction with the smooth conduct of the process and hopes for change.

Citizen Skënder Xerxa stated that he encountered no irregularities during voting.

“Everything was very smooth, very good… There were no irregularities… From this, we hope the system that has been in place for the past five years, which has drained us of resources and everything, will change in the right direction,” he said.
