DIASPORA VOTER REGISTRATION FOR THE 2021 KOSOVO ELECTIONS OPENS TODAY AND CLOSES ON JANUARY 21, 2021 - READ THE BELOW FOR SOME TIPS ON HOW TO REGISTER! #zgjedhjet2021
Even if you've voted from abroad in the past, you MUST register to vote in order for your ballot to be counted.
First, fill out the voter registration form - it's available on the website of Komisioni Qendror i Zgjedhjeve (Central Elections Commission) - scroll down to Hapi 1 (Step one) to download the registration form: https://www.kqz-ks.org/sherbimet-per-votuesit/votimi-me-poste/
Second, figure out which supporting documents you should send. At the very top of this page, check the PDF guide on supporting documents: https://www.kqz-ks.org/sherbimet-per-votuesit/votimi-me-poste/
If you're a citizen, you can send a scan of a valid ID doc (like a passport or leternjoftim). If you're a citizen and have an expired KS identity doc, send the expired doc and a valid identity document from your country of residence.
If you weren't born in KS but one of your parents was born in KS, send their birth certificate (Yugo is fine) and also your birth certificate (to prove your relationship to your parent). If you're unsure of what to provide, *call* KQZ - it's their job to explain this to you.
Basically, your supporting docs should do three things: prove your age, identity and your connection to KS. For advice tailored to your circumstances, read the KQZ guide at the top of this page (PDF on the upper left side of the page): https://www.kqz-ks.org/sherbimet-per-votuesit/votimi-me-poste/
Once you have: 1) a scan of the completed registration form and 2) a scan of your identity documents, EMAIL them to directly to KQZ at one of the following email addresses:
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]
[email protected]

THIS LAST STEP IS VERY IMPORTANT: KQZ WILL *CALL* YOU AT THE NUMBER YOU PROVIDE IN YOUR REGISTRATION FORM. IF YOU DON'T ANSWER WHEN THEY CALL, YOUR APPLICATION TO REGISTER TO VOTE WILL BE DENIED. Yes, it's ridiculous.
