ELECTIONS 2025/ Registration for the diaspora vote starts today, the steps you need to follow

For the first time, in the May 11 elections, Albanians living abroad will have the opportunity to express their political will without having to come to Albania to vote.

Today is the first step of the process, with the launch of registration through the Electronic Registration Platform (PER), a process that lasts until March 4.

Registration :

The immigrant seeking to register must first open an account on the (PER) platform.

The immigrant, when submitting his request for registration on the voter list abroad according to the rules approved by the Regulatory Commission, uploads to the electronic registration platform at least one of the listed documents that proves his stay outside the territory of the Republic of Albania:

– Certificate of ownership or equivalent document in the country of residence, proving ownership of the apartment;

– Document proving residency in a foreign country issued by the relevant authorities;

– Rental contract or loan of the apartment;

– Bank documents (loan contract/bank certificate, etc.) containing the residential address;

– Supply contract or water supply bill for the apartment;

– Supply contract or bill for gas or electricity in the apartment;

– Digital audiovisual broadcasting service subscription contract or invoice;

– Contract or invoice for the internet service of the fixed telephone in the apartment;

– Document issued by the competent authority of the country of residence which certifies the voter's stay in a health institution, immigration camp or similar;

– Property document or equivalent issued in the country of residence proving ownership of the apartment;

– Driving license (license) in cases where the residential address is indicated;

Or any other document issued in a foreign country that proves the Albanian citizen's residence at the declared address abroad.

The number of Albanian citizens registered at the same address applying on the electronic registration platform cannot exceed 6 people. Exceptions to this rule will only be made for justified reasons and upon presentation of legal documentation (PER) will allow the registration of more Albanian citizens.

After registration, the CEC responds to the immigrant whether his request has been approved or not. If the CEC does not approve the registration, it explains to the immigrant the documents he must complete in order to have the request approved.

The registration process is considered successful when the voter submits complete data and the request is approved.
