The official voting schedule has closed across Albania for the parliamentary elections, which will determine the 140 new MPs and the government that will lead the country for the next 4 years.

As was done in previous elections, voting will continue only with people in line.

Over 3.7 million Albanian citizens were eligible to vote this Sunday, and according to the results of the Central Election Commission, voter turnout by 6:00 PM exceeded 41%.

The novelty of these elections was the diaspora vote.

The electoral process was conducted in an overall peaceful manner, but minor incidents were not lacking in many areas, where there were clashes between commissioners, several cases of photographing votes, or delays in the start of voting.

The most serious incident can be considered the one in the Vora CEAZ where the Secretary General of the Democratic Party, Flamur Noka, and two citizens were involved in a verbal altercation, which resulted in criminal proceedings by the authorities.

In these parliamentary elections, Prime Minister Rama is seeking a fourth term, while Sali Berisha is aiming to return to power after 12 years.
