Journalist Andi Tela debated with the State Election Commissioner, Ilirjan Celibashi, in the studio of the show "The Unexposed" about the possible patronage of the vote, through the marks on the ballot paper. But Celibashi said that the possibility of trafficking in votes promised in return for payment is zero, from the vote counters.
Excerpt from the conversation
Tela: The Tirana ballot is the largest and you have determined that you can vote for a party or candidate and it is valid. How can you avoid partying the vote from the outside, because you have determined that any type of mark within the square, so you can put a cross, an X, two dashes and it is called a vote check. But every controller with the cameras that you have will say tomorrow that in this ballot box at the X center there were those 10 promised votes because the identification mark was a cross in this shape? How can you avoid this?
Celibashi: I can't avoid this, but the probability of it happening is zero, because that ballot that you put that mark on and told me, listen, I put that mark on, won't be counted by me, but by Andi, and Andi doesn't know at all what the code we set is.
Tela: Yes, it will appear on the screen.
Celibashi: There's no way anyone on screen would identify him. You'd have to read a million votes to find him.
Tela: There are one million votes in all of Albania, but there are only 500 votes in the voting center and I identify the 5 people I paid and they put a circle and I tell them, yes there were 5 circles, give it to me.
Celibashi: Yes, and will he catch it? He can't in real time.
Tela: So it creates the possibility for the box to have either a cross or a check, two ways, not 47.
Celibashi: We say you will either put x or plus.
Tela: With the others it is invalid?
Celibashi: Not as the Electoral Code says or in another form where the will of the voters is clear.
