The government approved the normative act that extends the expiration date of identity cards, thus allowing citizens to vote in the May 11 elections.
The Council of Ministers decided at today's meeting to extend the deadline for IDs that have expired or are expiring until May 11, setting a validity period until May 31.
"From an analysis of the data, it turns out that there are a considerable number of citizens with the right to vote whose electronic ID cards and biometric passports have expired or are about to expire by May 11. These are necessary documents to participate in the voting process.
The adoption of normative acts is undertaken with the aim of guaranteeing the constitutional right of all citizens to vote without obstacles in the general parliamentary elections.
"According to this decision, the validity period of identification means, electronic ID cards and biometric passports that expire on May 11, 2025, is extended until May 31, 2025," said Minister Hoxha.
A day earlier, the Democratic Party, through its vice president Oerd Bylykbashi, asked the Government to approve the extension of the ID card deadline, as around 460,000 citizens with the right to vote do not have a valid document to vote on May 11.
Bylykbashi said that these citizens cannot be denied the right to vote.
