TIRANA, December 27/ATA/ The Central Election Commission conducted today the technical operational testing of the Electronic Registration Platform, valid for out-of-the-country vote.
During presentation of the platform, the Chief State Election Commissioner Ilirjan Celibashi assessed that the CEC has already fulfilled all obligations and responsibilities related to application of this platform.
Celibashi said that the platform ensures the registration of voters from abroad via the internet, without the need to appear at any office, embassy or consulate.
“The platform has all the qualities and guarantees security. We have built a platform that fully ensures the identity of the applicant. If compared to its counterparts, I think it constitutes the highest security standard”, said Celibashi.
In this regard, he ensured that the platform has taken into consideration all aspects related to the use of personal data and their protection.
Celibashi emphasized that the platform will have a chatbot service (direct communication) for all those applicants who are not familiar with information technology.
“Elderly people or people who are not familiar with information technology will be assisted in registering on the platform via Whatsapp or e-mail. Direct communication will be provided for these people,” he said.
Celibashi also emphasized that the review of the request to vote as an overseas voter is done 100% automatically.
“This happens if the data uploaded by the applicant matches the database that we have in the system,” said Celibashi.
According to him, creating an account on the Electronic Registration platform is only the first phase, but anyone who wants to register as an overseas voter must meet several other conditions. /r.e/p.s./
