Changing polling stations / Head of Civil Registry clarifies misunderstanding

Citizens are not moving from polling stations, but according to the head of the General Directorate of Civil Status, Bledar Doracaj, a new address system has been created, a project that began in 2019 by merging the two registers, the national civil registry and that of addresses.

He explained the process on the show 'Ilva Noë' as follows: the address where they live or where they are declared, but at a different address. During the merging of the registers, the citizens who were found during the interview were found that they do not live where they declared and where the registers were joined. .citizens who have second homes. The place of residence is changed by presenting himself with the relevant documentation to the civil status office where he will go, this is a conflict that has been created at the addresses, which means consequently neither the polling stations nor the list of elections, where they voted in 2019, 2017 ... they will vote in 2021 where they voted, only if they changed their place of residence afterwards. "All those who have problems with addresses, do not have problems with elections, they will be where they have been."

Doracaj said that there was a correction from his staff to register the addresses and that there is no room for concern regarding the election lists or the electoral process.

He said that for 30 years the address system has not worked and citizens have agreed on popular benchmarks, while showing that in 2016 the government allocated a fund to create a new address system, the process was about field interviews. of citizens and that in 2019 the implementation of the project began by merging the two registers.

This morning, the Minister of Interior, Sander Lleshaj, appeared at a press conference today, refuting the news, while saying that the citizens will vote in the polling stations where they voted last time, there will be no arbitrary changes from above, except by the citizens themselves.
