The voter turnout by 13:00 o’clock for the presidential election is 26.24 percent, while the voter turnout for the local elections is 26.23 percent, State Election Commission (DIK) Chairman Aleksandar Novakovski informed at the second press conference. The voter turnout for the local elections in Skopje by 13:00 o’clock was 24.06 percent.
DIK’s overall assessment is that the voting so far is proceeding without problems. Novakovski stressed that DIK had not received any official complaints from the municipal election commissions as regards possible irregularities, adding that they are checking all unofficial reports concerning possible irregularities.
Responding to a journalist’s question, DIK Chairman Novakovski stressed that representatives of the central and local governments, as well as citizens of the Republic of Macedonia, helped the DIK representatives deliver the confidential voting material to the municipal election commissions on Saturday. However, due to bad weather conditions, it was impossible to deliver this material to some polling places.
DIK will hold its next press conference at 18:00.
