The by-elections in six municipalities of the country that are expected to be held on March 6 will cost 180 million ALL.
The Chairman of the Central Election Commission, Ilirian Celibashi said that in these six municipalities electronic identification will be applied, while in Vora electronic voting will be applied.
“We have an experience in Tirana. The aim is to apply electronic voting in the elections of the municipality of Vora, but we will discuss it with political partiesHe said.
According to the KOZ, 648,536 voters are registered in these six municipalities, there will be 13 CEAZs and 940 Voting Centers.
President Ilir Meta decreed March 6 as the date of by-elections in the municipalities of Shkodra, Durres, Dibra, Vora, Rrogozhina and Lushnja.
Meta’s decree is delayed, as the Electoral Code stipulates that elections are held “no later than 45 days from the date of notification of the termination of the mandate.”
The Municipality of Shkodra has been without a new mayor since 2019, as the winner of the elections, Valdrin Pjetri of the Socialist Party, lost his mandate due to the decriminalization law, as he had hidden a sentence in the past. The duty is exercised by the old mayor, Voltana Ademi.
The municipality of Vora was also left without a mayor after Agim Kajmaku became subject to the decriminalization law. In the municipality of Rrogozhina, the mayor Haxhi Memolla passed away, while the mayor of Dibër, Dionis Imeraj, resigned after running for deputy in the SP list.
The Municipality of Durrës was also left without a mayor after the resignation in December 2019 of Valbona Sakos. The last municipality left without a mayor is Lushnja in July 2021, when Mayor Fatos Tushe was fired by the Prime Minister after being arrested for corruption by the SPAK.
Meta argued his long delay by waiting for a decision of the Constitutional Court on the Constitutionality of the local elections of June 30, 2019.
These elections were held in a political conflict situation, as the opposition decided to boycott them, while the president himself had annulled them by decree.
Before setting the date, he consulted with the head of the socialist parliamentary group, Taulant Balla, who said that the president has been violating the Constitution for a long time on this issue.
The Democratic Party was not called for consultations by the president, while the announcement of the elections comes at a time when the largest opposition party is divided.
