Printing of ballots for the February 9 elections in Kosovo begins

The printing of ballots for the Kosovo Assembly elections, which will be held on February 9, 2025, has begun.

The Central Election Commission has announced that the printing of ballots is being carried out at the high-security document printing house, "Cetis", in Celje, Slovenia.

This process is being conducted according to international standards and under the supervision of a CEC delegation led by the chairperson, Kreshnik Radoniqi, and the staff of the CEC Secretariat.

The CEC announces that in addition to ballots, brochures with candidate lists are also being printed, which will be available to voters at polling stations during election day.

At the meeting held on January 15, the CEC decided on the number of ballots and brochures to be printed. According to the CEC decision, 1,752,650 ballots will be printed, of which 1,664,100 for voting at regular polling stations; 28,450 for conditional voting; 38,650 for voting by persons with special needs and as reserve ballots; and 21,450 for voting at diplomatic missions,” the announcement states.

Based on the Voter List certified by the Central Election Commission, the number of Kosovo citizens with the right to vote is 2,075,868 voters, of which 1,970,944 voters are voters belonging to the Voter List within Kosovo and 104,924 voters are part of the Voter List outside Kosovo.

Therefore, according to the CEC's decision, 323,218 or 15.57% fewer ballots will be printed than the number of voters. This is a practice followed by the CEC in past election processes. (A2 Televizion)
