The Democratic Party has sent a document to its lobbying company in the US raising concerns about the electoral process held in Albania. The document has also been sent to the US Department of Justice.

"In the Preliminary Report of the Observer Missions, the DP has raised serious concerns about the integrity of Albania's electoral process, highlighting the widespread abuse of power by the ruling Socialist Party," the DP document states.

The main findings according to the PD document include:

Abuse of state resources: The ruling party used public resources and institutions to its advantage, blurring the line between state and party.

Patronage networks: A political patronage network was used to pressure employees and influence voters, violating international standards.

Intimidation and pressure: Public sector workers and opposition supporters faced pressure and threats. Fear of police and fear of reprisals also discouraged voter participation.

Vote buying and criminal involvement: Criminal groups were implicated in vote buying operations for Socialist Party candidates. Authorities opened investigations into dozens of such cases.

Voting irregularities: Voting centers suffered from serious problems such as voter intimidation, violation of the secrecy of the vote, and limited accessibility for voters with disabilities.

Media Capture: The media was largely under government influence, resulting in self-censorship and a lack of independent reporting.

Lack of reform: No efforts have been made to implement the recommendations of past elections, resulting in a flawed electoral process that hinders Albania's aspirations for EU integration.
