May 11 elections, former head of the CEC, Kristaq Kume: It is normal for

The former head of the Central Election Commission, Kristaq Kume, spoke today on the Log show on News 24, moderated by Endri Xhafo, about the electoral process and the counting of ballots in the framework of the May 11 parliamentary elections.

Kume was asked about the request of some candidates for deputies to take video footage of preferential votes.
Regarding this, Kume said that something like this is normal and that it serves the transparency of the process and evidence-based judgment.

Kristaq Kume: It is normal and this serves the transparency of the process and the judgment based on evidence. Beautiful competition. The counters on one side, the contestants on the other. The contestants have the right to request information on what happened and what is in the box and that by making such a request they question the work done by the counters. This is not questioned out of kindness. It is a tedious process and mistakes can happen.

Let's not forget the fact that the counters may have been under pressure from the contestants, but more than that, they must have been and must take into account the pressure of the law.

The contestant is proving that he was wrongly elected, that his votes were counted incorrectly... the teller will be held accountable before law enforcement if he did something like that.
