Diaspora vote/ Payment of 9.2 million euros to DHL blocked, CEC is verifying

Three months after the May 11 elections, where the diaspora vote was applied for the first time, a historic process that was carried out through the mail, the DHL company that distributed the ballots has not yet received any payment from the Central Election Commission.

The postal company has issued invoices for the full service of 9.2 million euros for 245 thousand voters abroad, but the CEC is checking the signatures of the envelopes to see to what extent the contract has been implemented.

After the process that was accompanied by much controversy over the way the envelope was distributed to the emigrants, the CEC confirmed to Report TV that verification has already begun whether the terms of the contract were respected.

In an official response to Report TV, the CEC says that the DHL contract implementation report is not yet ready due to the large volume of data that needs to be processed, but also due to the fact that staff were also engaged in the recount process that lasted until July.

"We inform you that the Central Election Commission has not yet disbursed any payment to the contractor. Also, the contract implementation report has not been finalized due to the large volume of data that requires processing and the engagement of staff in the process of counting/evaluating votes from abroad, handling complaints, as well as the ongoing recount process," the CEC said in an official response to Report TV.

202 thousand envelopes arrived at the CEC for the May 11 elections, out of 227 thousand that reached voters. To conduct the 'audit' of the contract, the CEC will have to verify one by one all the envelopes that arrived in Albania, if they have the voter's signature. The Central Election Commission itself has previously stated that it will not pay for those envelopes that do not have the voter's signatures because there were no guarantees that the envelope was received by the right person.

The process of distributing the voting envelopes to the diaspora was accompanied by much controversy, especially in Greece. The DP accused the company that, in collaboration with the Socialists, did not distribute the envelopes according to the contract, but went to the voters without signatures and identity cards. Not a few times, the Socialists also criticized the way the envelopes were distributed in Greece.
