Electronic identification is the chosen method for the local elections, which are being held today, May 14.
For weeks it has been presented as a process and the way it will develop, but apparently on the most important day, the process has encountered problems.
Although they are the most expensive choices in terms of investment in equipment and modules, identification devices have had difficulties in their normal operation.
Since the first hours of the voting process, many citizens throughout the country have not been able to identify themselves through the devices installed to facilitate this process.
According to the information, due to this difficulty, if it continues like this in the following hours, it has been announced that after 3 hours, the process will return to its traditional way.
Problems have also been reported in Tirana, precisely at the "Martyrs of Freedom", where the PEI apparatus has not functioned, blocking the head of the CEC himself, Ilirjan Celibashi, who has found himself in a rather embarrassing situation as he has not been able to vote . Technicians who arrived to fix the problem were forced to dismantle the PEI device in front of the cameras while people waited in line to vote.
