Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Referring to the PEI2023 value = 53.33 points, the Local government elections that took place in Albania on May 14, 2023, are evaluated as a process, which in its entirety was classified at the "Moderate" level. Compared to the parliamentary elections of 2021, the value of the Index has decreased by about 4.4 points. Factors related to the financing of the election campaign (32.3 points against 40.3 points), legislation (45.6 points against 54.5 points), registration of electoral subjects (48.8 points versus 59.8 points) are perceived as factors with the greatest negative effects on the integrity of elections. Albania continues to be classified in the group of countries where the challenge of organizing and conducting democratic elections that must meet international standards and OSCE commitments is present.
