TIRANA, April 18 /ATA/ –By I. Vata/ – The electronic voting system was tested in the central Albanian city of Elbasan on Tuesday as the Central Election Commission plans to use new pilot technologies in several municipalities in the May 14 mayoral elections in Albania.
The State Election Commissioner Ilirjan Celibashi monitored the e-voting test process in Elbasan and said that the system fully guarantees the secret ballot.
Celibashi said that the e-voting will be applied in the municipalities of Elbasan, Kamza and Vora during the local elections next month.
“I would like to state that the system fully guarantees the secrecy of the ballot. There is no way or tools to identify the voters’ ballot. It fully ensures secrecy of the ballot and I would like to invite voters in these municipalities to take part and cast their vote for their preferred candidates,” the head of the Central Election Commission told reporters.
According to him, the e-voting system also avoids family voting, because the machine system accepts only one voter.
