TIRANA, Nov. 4/ATA/- The Law on Additions and Amendments to the Electoral Code was published today in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Albania.
The new Electoral Code stipulates the obligation of electoral subjects to open 100% the lists of candidates for deputies in accordance with the constitutional provisions. This scheme enables every citizen to have the right to cast two votes, one on the political entity and another nominal on the preferred candidate of the subject in the multi-nominal list of the respective electoral zone.
The electoral law also defines the modalities of how the preferred votes are cast, their counting, tabulation of results and distribution of mandates within the list of the respective electoral subject.
The modalities of composing the ballot paper, including party logos, names or numbers of candidates, are determined by the Central Election Commission, depending on the number of political subjects registered as election contestants.//a.i/
