PS sends request to KAS: Votes with marks outside the box should also be

The Socialist Party has sent a written request to the Complaints and Sanctions Commission regarding the invalid ballots from the May 11 elections, for which it has requested that they be taken into consideration even if the voting mark is outside the box in which the marking is made on the ballot.

 "The electoral subject, the Socialist Party of Albania, has become aware of your decision-making during the process of re-evaluating the votes for the Tirana district electoral zone, from which it results that the ballots on which the distinctive sign expressing the will of the voter has not been placed inside the box, have been assessed as invalid by you, in contradiction with electoral practice over the years, as well as the legal framework.

Referring to decision no. 30, dated 25.04.2025, of the Regulatory Commission for the 'Working Guide for the Electoral Administration Zone Commissions and Vote Counting Groups for the elections to the Assembly of the Republic of Albania, in the case when the voter's mark on the ballot paper is not located inside the box corresponding to the respective candidate of the multi-name list, but the mark is made in such a way that it clearly indicates the will of the voter, the ballot paper is considered valid.

"As above, given that the evaluation of ballots with the above marking as invalid affects the number of votes of candidates on the preferential list of the electoral subject Socialist Party, resulting in their change in the summary table, as has resulted to us up to this stage, we ask you to respect the normative regulatory framework and the practice implemented so far during the process of counting and evaluating votes," the PS request reads./CNA
