Potential errors in the voters lists can be corrected

Right after the announcement of the preliminary voters lists,  there  are lots of remarks and criticism addressed to the competent bodies  about  gaps in these lists.

Being unbiased either  about the afore-mentioned criticism or the  potential resposibility of the relevant bodies (which must be  certified),  Albanian Helsinki Committee after the announcement of the preliminary  voters lists considers the voters interest as a decisive factor in  their  correction. Getting acquainted with the announced lists enables them to  confirm whether they are included in the lists or not, if their  identity is  accurate or not.

The voter is entitled to address the LGZC within the time terms  perscribed in the law for the correction in the list, or depending on  the  case to appeal against the  LGZC decisions in the court.

AHC also considers that  a valuable contribution in the correction  of the proclaimed lists can be given by the electoral subjects registered  in  CEC,  to whom the voters lists are made available at their request.

AHC as a specialized organization committed in the field of rights  with all its means will modestly contribute in raising voters awareness  to  exercise the right of election granted by the Constitution as well as  in  the monitoring process of the revision of the preliminary lists with  the  aim of accurate enforcement of the provisions of the Electoral Code and  also of the relevant CEC guideline.
