As expected, the opposition has imposed the elections 2017 as a
condition for their presence in Parliament. Their Parliamentary Group
leader, Edi Paloka, listed five conditions signed by 20 parties of the
opposition.
- The opposition wants electronic voting, electronic ballot count and a biometric identification of voters, with a new system throughout the country.
- The Democratic Party want a thorough implementation of the decriminalization law, to remove gangs and criminal elements from the electoral reform on Election Day.
- The DP want a lower campaign cost, by reducing spending, by increasing transparency for financial sources and by implementing harsher punishment, by even considering vote-purchase a serious crime.
- Stopping human resources of the public administration from being used for campaign.
- Quick access to the media, and media coverage of the electoral ads.
“Nothig is more essential than guaranteeing free and fair votes, and bringing back citizens’ trust”, Paloka said.
