About the event
The exchange will support Albania's ongoing electoral reform process by discussing ways to strengthen safeguards against the misuse of administrative resources during elections. It will bring together members of the Ad-Hoc Committee on Electoral Reform, the Central Election Commission and other institutions, civil society, and international partners. The event aims to facilitate dialogue on possible legislative, regulatory, and institutional improvements to enhance electoral integrity.
Discussions will draw on ODIHR recommendations, international standards, comparative practices, and lessons learned from previous elections in Albania. Key topics will include the political neutrality of public institutions, monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, inter-institutional co-operation, evidence gathering, and sanctions. Participants will also examine the roles and responsibilities of relevant oversight and enforcement bodies. The exchange is expected to identify key challenges and possible reform options to strengthen prevention, transparency, accountability, and enforcement. Its outcomes will provide technical input to support the work of the Ad-Hoc Committee on Electoral Reform.
Enhancing electoral reform in the Western Balkans
The roundtable is organized as part of ODIHR’s project Enhancing Electoral Reform in the Western Balkans, which supports beneficiaries in following up on electoral recommendations and aligning electoral frameworks and practices with OSCE commitments and international standards for democratic elections. The project is funded by the European Union, with additional support from Norway and Greece.
