Diaspora registration in elections, debate at the CEC, opposition accuses of

The good words were short-lived and the immigrant registration process for the May 11 parliamentarians has begun to be shrouded in doubt.

The two members proposed by the opposition to the regulatory commission at the CEC expressed that the process of registering immigrants is not going well, addressing a series of complaints to the administrators of the process, on the way the approved acts are being implemented.

"Undoubtedly, this is worrying that a process that the whole of Albania and the entire diaspora are paying attention to is not being made transparent, I don't know how I can blame it, but it is not transparency. Can the CEC give in to all the requests of the applicants when the deadline is 5 days," said Vukaj.

In addition to public criticism for the lack of transparency, Helga Vukaj told a case of how the CEC had refused to register a citizen who had indicated as her residential address the house that turned out to be owned by her husband.

Vukaj: How do you interpret this decision of ours?

"Your decision says that the voter makes an individual request and must prove it with a document proving the address. If we have a document from Mrs. Josifi, we cannot link it to Mrs. Doçaj," declared Josifi.

This practice of the staff authorized by Ilirjan Celibashi forces every immigrant to prove not only that they have a residence document outside the territory, but also to possess a residential address in their name, something that for the opposition representatives goes beyond the act approved by them.

Josifi: How do we link a husband to his wife?

Çakaj: The ownership document can only be in the name of one, not both...

Josifi: Very much agreed, how do we link a husband to his wife?

In addition to the issue of immigrant registration, concerns were also raised by cases published in the media where socialist officials have appeared registering immigrants on the online platform.

Çakaj: What business does a political party have in assisting the registration of immigrants, is this vote buying?

For the CEC, something like this had gone unnoticed, interpreting yet another act of the Regulatory Commission regarding the activity of prohibited activities.

Nano: Why are denunciations made at the regulator's meetings

? Çakaj: Why should we keep our mouths shut here?

Doçaj CEC: We have a portal, do it there ?

Çakaj: Why is this not public?

In the final, the members of the Regulatory Commission expressed their readiness to revise the acts to simplify the process of registering immigrants. (A2 Televizion)
