Re: RAPORTI I OSBE ODIHR

Participation of National Minorities and WomenIn these elections, women were rarely selected as candidates. Of the 1,073 mayoral candidates, only
33 were women (3 per cent). A number of political parties established internal gender quotas (in
some cases, up to 50 per cent), but it remains to be seen how these quotas will be affected by the
possible re-ranking. In 16 per cent of VCs visited, the VCCs were chaired by women.There is an absence of reliable current official data on national minorities in Albania. However, it is
widely accepted that the largest minority grouping is the Greek Albanian community. In addition,
Bulgarian, ethnic Macedonian, Roma, Serb, and Vlach communities live in Albania. A number of
election-related issues arose within the Roma community during these elections. Specific problems
were noted with their inclusion in the voter lists, since many Roma were either not properly
registered in their place of residence or not registered at all. There were also allegations of vote
buying by candidates in Roma settlements; one case involving a DP candidate in Pogradec was
substantiated.The MediaAlbania has a pluralistic media environment, with both public and private broadcasters and a wide
variety of print media. Public television and radio respected their legal obligation to offer free
airtime to all political parties registered for the elections. Debates were televised regularly, both on
public TV and a number of local broadcasters, providing candidates with a forum to exchange views.
In general, voters were provided with extensive election-related information; yet the media mainly
focused on the two largest parties, with smaller parties receiving less coverage than their legal
entitlement.The Electoral Code regulates the media coverage of the campaign. Public and private broadcasters
are required to cover parties' campaigns according to their relative strength in the Parliament.
Compliance is overseen by the CEC’s Media Monitoring Board (MMB). Despite a delay in
launching its monitoring effort, both at the national and local level, as well as problems with
monitors and equipment in a number of regions, the MMB was able to fulfil its mandate. Based on
the MMB’s reports, the CEC ordered a number of media to “correct” imbalances in their coverage.
However, the CEC rejected two requests for compensation from smaller parties (DAP and SDP),
although the MMB monitoring showed that such claims appeared to have been grounded.The OSCE/ODIHR EOM monitored the main broadcast and print media outlets2, assessing the timeand space allocated to candidates and parties running for the elections, as well as the tone of the
coverage. During the official campaign period, TVSH allocated 28 per cent of its political and
election prime-time news coverage to the DP, mostly positive or neutral in tone. The SP received 29
per cent, also mainly positive or neutral. The coverage of the two main parties by private
broadcasters TV Arbëria, Top Channel, Vizion + and News24 was similar to that of TVSH. TV Klan
adopted a different approach, giving the SP 28 per cent of coverage, and the DP 21 per cent. The
broadcaster often presented state officials as government representatives, even when they were
participating in campaign events. TV Klan allocated some 23 per cent of its political coverage to the
Government, more than any other outlet monitored.2TV: TVSH (public), TV Klan (private, nationwide license), TVA (TV Arbëria; private, nationwide license), Top
Channel (private, regional license), Vizion + (private, regional license) and News24 (private, regional license),Newspapers: Gazeta Shqiptare, Shekulli and Shqip.

Complaints and AppealsThe CEC registered and adjudicated more than 50 complaints, most of them against LGEC decisions
regarding candidate registration. Seventeen CEC decisions were appealed to the Electoral College,
six of which were overturned. Out of eight appeals from rejected or deregistered candidates, the
Electoral College overturned the CEC decisions in four cases as lacking legal grounding and/or not
based on sufficient evidence. Both the CEC and the Electoral College handled complaints in a
transparent and professional manner and generally met the deadlines for taking decisions.Domestic and International ObserversUnder Article 18 of the Electoral Code, Albanian non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have the
right to observe elections. In these elections, the largest civil society initiative was organized by the
‘Domestic NGO Coalition’, an umbrella organization that encompassed seven domestic groups and
deployed some 3,000 domestic observers throughout the country to monitor the opening, voting,
counting, and tabulation procedures.Election DayElection day was calm overall. However, it was overshadowed by procedural shortcomings and, in a
number of LGUs, by tension. Certain problems observed derived from the implementation of the 12
January agreement. Overall, IEOM observers characterized the voting process as ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’
in 10 per cent of Voting Centres (VCs) visited. Formal complaints were filed in 6 per cent of VCs
visited.In a significant 13 per cent of VCs visited, copies of the special register for birth certificates had not
been provided. This appeared to be mainly due to uncertainty as to who was responsible for
providing them. In some VCs, this stalled the voting process. Where copies of the register were
available, they were sometimes not used, as in Tirana Borough 7, Kamëz, Gjirokastër, Berat and
Poliçan. In 20 per cent of VCs observed, birth certificates were not checked against the special
register, and in 29 per cent, they were not retained by the VCC.Most CSOs visited immediately prior to and on election day were open, and in 49 per cent, lines of
citizens were waiting to be issued with birth certificates. IEOM observers noted a lack of uniformity
regarding opening hours of CSOs on election day. Opposition parties alleged abuse of certificates in
some LGUs.In 34 per cent of VCs observed, voters were turned away because their names were not on the voter
lists. However, the number of people affected was low in almost all cases. People marked as
emigrants in the voter lists generally appeared not to encounter undue problems in trying to vote.
The visible ink used to mark voters was at the centre of controversy, with claims that it could easily
be removed. In 20 per cent of VCs visited, voters were rarely or never checked for traces of ink, and
in 11 per cent, ink was rarely or never applied.The majority of VCs where the opening was observed opened with sometimes considerable delays;
this appeared to be due to late or incomplete delivery of election material or late appointment of
VCC members, some of whom were not nominated until the previous evening. Some 75 VCs did not
open at all. In Tirana Borough 1, the mayor changed the number of VCs after the legal deadline; as a
result, VCCs received wrong voter lists and quantities of ballots.

Observers reported tension or unrest in 7 per cent of VCs visited, as well as isolated cases of
violence. Unauthorized persons were interfering in the process in 4 per cent of VCs visited. In 4 per
cent, persons were influencing or attempting to influence voters. Instances of pressure on voters were
reported from a limited number of LGUs; for example, Bushat and Gruemirë. In a VC in Bushat,
four VCC members from majority parties left and were not replaced after supporters of the Demo-
Christian Party ‘requested’ the right to replace them.Group voting was observed in a high 31 per cent of VCs. Isolated cases of proxy and multiple voting
were also reported. Observers also noted other isolated but serious violations. In a VC in Poshnjë, a
VCC member was signing the voter list when no voters were nearby. In some VCs in Himarë, the
process was characterized as problematic. In Himarë, one VCC appeared to be deliberately
invalidating ballots by handing them to voters with the stub attached, by signing them, or by not
stamping them properly.In Tirana, the similar colours of some ballots led to confusion and may have resulted in considerable
numbers of ballots inserted in the wrong ballot boxes and thus rendered invalid.Party or candidate observers were present in 75 per cent of VCs visited; domestic non-partisan
observers, mainly from the ‘Domestic NGO Coalition’, were identified in 33 per cent of VCs.
Observers described many VC premises as too small and inadequate. Access to 12 per cent of VCs
visited was considered difficult, which could have affected the voting of disabled citizens.In certain LGUs, the situation deteriorated during the afternoon. In several Tirana boroughs, large
numbers of voters and other people gathered outside some VCs, tension was reported, and some VCs
closed with considerable delays and in chaotic circumstances, with voters waiting outside not being
allowed to vote.Elsewhere, VCs generally closed on time, and most observers reported that voters in line were able
to vote. The closing procedures were largely respected. However, copies of the closing records were
not always given to those entitled to receive them. Also, some observers reported the presence of
unauthorized persons during the closing.The Vote CountObservers reported that, in general, the reception of election material at counting centers proceeded
smoothly. Most problems were noted in larger LGUs with many VCs. Observers reported that the
reception was slow and poorly organized in most Tirana boroughs.In all counting centres observed, the vote count started only after the election material had been
received from all VCs. In Gjirokastër, the count was blocked until 02:50 hrs. following a violent
incident involving SP and DP supporters. In Bushat, the count was postponed to Monday morning
following obstruction by the local MP and his supporters. In Tirana Boroughs 1, 6 and 10, the count
had not started at 6:00 hrs. As of 12:00 hrs. on 19 February, the CEC had not published provisional
results on its website.The OSCE/ODIHR will issue additional commentary on the counting process in due course.This statement is also available in Albanian.However, the English version remains the only official document.

Re: RAPORTI I OSBE ODIHR

Press release
Albanian elections represent a missed opportunity
Subscribe to e-mail service Print version
TIRANA, 19 February 2007 - The 18 February local elections in Albania represented a missed opportunity to conduct elections fully in line with international commitments and standards for democratic elections. Election Day was calm overall, but voting was marred by procedural shortcomings and in some places, tension. Those are the conclusions of the International Election Observation Mission, IEOM, announced in Tirana today.

While the elections represented a competitive contest, political parties did not live up to the responsibilities granted to them by law and the electoral environment was marked by uncertainty and lack of trust between key election stakeholders.

"The lack of constructive engagement by the political parties has brought back previous concerns regarding their willingness to co-operate with each other in ensuring that the elections are held in compliance with OSCE Commitments," said Jorgen Grunnet, who headed the long-term mission sent by the OSCE's Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR).

The IEOM called for a determined effort to establish a reliable system for civil registration before the next elections and urged political parties not to abuse the issue in their debates.

Joseph Borg, who spoke on behalf of the delegation from the Congress of Local and Regional Authorities of the Council of Europe said: "Although there was a competitive contest, we observed widespread procedural shortcomings which disenfranchised many eligible voters."

Generally, candidates and parties could register without impediment and were able to freely convey their views to the electorate. Still, a few candidates who attempted to register as independents appeared to encounter undue obstacles.

Media provided a balanced coverage of the campaign and voters were able to make informed choices among a number of alternatives. However, the tone of the campaign deteriorated in the last week, focusing on personalized attacks, and a few violent incidents were noted.

On Election Day, procedural shortcomings were mainly related to the use of birth certificates. The voting centres opened late in a majority of polling stations where opening was observed, due to incomplete delivery of election material and late appointment of voting centres' members.

The visible ink used to mark voters' fingers was controversial, with opposition parties claiming that it could easily be removed. Group voting was frequently observed, as well as isolated cases of proxy and multiple voting. In Tirana, the similar colours of some of the ballots led to confusion and may have resulted in a number of ballots inserted in the wrong ballot boxes and thus rendered invalid.
