The Regulatory Commission of the Central Election Commission (CEC) approved this Friday the details of the ballot paper that will be sent to Albanian voters in the diaspora.

In addition to identifying elements, two distinguishable side strips were added to the back of the ballot, following a proposal by two opposition members of the Regulatory Commission, Helga Vukaj and Muharrem Çakaj.

The ballot paper for emigrants will have two vertical strips on the back in a shade close to blue, distinguishing it from the ballot paper used for voters within the country.

The Central Election Commission will continue preparations for envelopes and election materials according to legal provisions. So far, more than 131,000 people have registered on the official CEC website, while the final deadline for voter registration is March 4.

Meanwhile, the CEC is still awaiting amendments to the Electoral Code, which aim to facilitate the diaspora vote by adjusting deadlines for the registration of candidates and electoral subjects on May 11.
