"Vote buying, pressure on the administration and voters"/ DASH

The US Department of State has today published the report on Human Rights in Albania, for 2023.

DASH refers to the ODIHR report, according to which the local elections of May 14, "were generally well-administered, competitive and peaceful", but that they were also accompanied by problems.

"The report also noted the misuse of administrative resources at the central and local level, complaints of pressure on public sector employees and voters, as well as notices of vote buying," the State Department says.

DASH continues that "the rules for media coverage of the campaign strongly favored the main parties" and that the media's continued use of campaign materials prepared by the parties in news broadcasts "undermined a comprehensive and objective coverage of the campaign."

"The final report of the ODIHR Election Observation Mission for the May elections identified cases of misuse of state resources at the central and local level, allegations of pressure on public sector employees and voters, as well as allegations of vote buying," it says. in the report.

DASH also refers to the findings of the Albanian Committee of Helsinki, according to which this Committee observed "voter intimidation, political parties observing the activities of voters" and the lack of media coverage of the campaign of small parties./ CNA
