Voter intimidation, CEC appoints security coordinator for each polling center

Ilirjan Celibashi approved the act that provides for the placement of a security coordinator in each voting center, writes. This coordinator will report any irregularities he finds, immediately referring them to the police. With this decision, the State Election Commissioner requests from the State Police a more proactive role during the electoral process.

Among the irregularities that the security coordinator must report is the presence of unauthorized persons near voting centers. According to the approved act, a security perimeter of 150 meters has been defined, within which unauthorized persons will not be allowed.

 

The coordinators will continuously monitor the external areas of the VC, including the courtyards, entrances and the 150-meter perimeter. In any case of detection of unauthorized individuals, suspicious gatherings, pressure on voters, threatening behavior or prohibited materials in this area, the coordinator will immediately notify the voting center commission(s) in the relevant location, the CEAZ secretary, and will immediately communicate with the State Police operations room in the relevant area, through the number 119.

Central Election Commission

Any violations found will be included in the security coordinator's minutes, where the names of persons who abuse during the electoral process will be made public on the official CEC website.

The presence of unauthorized persons near voting centers has been a concern in the last two election processes, which have also been identified as problematic in OSCE/ODIHR monitoring reports.
