10,907 requests have been rejected, while 96 were not considered, reports Pristina-based Koha.

Most voters located outside of Kosovo and Metohija wish to do so by mail.

The Commission announced earlier that voting by mail will begin on May 25 and last until June 6.

The preliminary total number of voters is 2,092,202, which is 15,912 more than were eligible in the elections held on December 28, 2025.

17 parties, three coalitions and one independent candidate will participate this time.

The Pristina assembly has 120 seats.

Early elections were called for June 7 after the assembly failed to elect the president of the provisional institutions within a deadline.
