Voters living within the country;

– Voters living abroad, this preliminary list will be public on March 9, 2025 and every citizen will have 48 hours to express their will finally whether they want to vote inside or outside Albania.

Registration will be done through the Electronic Platform for the Registration of Voters from Abroad, which can be accessed from the application CEC.

For registration, an electronic device is needed for verification through facial photography for registration and scanning or photographing the identification document and other address declaration document.
