The voters’ list that Macedonia used in the parliamentary elections of June last year has been expanded by 58,496 new citizens eligible to vote. Instead of declining, considering the main remark of the OSCE/ODIHR was that there were too many voters relative to the total number of citizens in the country and abroad in the previous two elections, the number of voters is rising.

According to the State Election Commission, on the day of the parliamentary elections last year (5 June), there were 1,821,122 voters – information that can also be found on the Commission’s website. After trimming the voters’ list, the State Election Commission said at its press conference Wednesday that as of 30 September, the list has 1,879,618 voters, which means that there are some 60,000 voters more.
