Electoral Reform postponed with one month

09/02/2017 00:00

The Albanian political parties have another month to find consensus for a
new electoral reform, otherwise the next elections will be held with
the current code.

The Parliament voted to postpone the deadline of the Electoral Reform Commission, only with the votes of the majority.

Both parties seem far from finding consensus, while the Democratic Party demands electronic voting and electronic ballot count, despite calls from even the OSCE that there is not enough time to apply the technology.
