Bosnia’s Central Election Commission (CEC) said on Tuesday that it published the list of registered voters abroad on its website because of numerous complaints about irregularities concerning the voter registration in previous elections.

Ahead of the November 15 local elections, the CEC said it received an enormous number of complaints concerning irregularities in voting from abroad but managed to review each one of them and took 27.960 names from the list.

The number of citizens who will be allowed to vote from abroad is now 101.771.

“As an institution responsible for the accuracy, timeliness and overall integrity of the Central Voters Register for the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and fully respecting the recommendations of the 2018 OSCE / ODIHR Final Report, the BiH Central Election Commission has for the first time published the list of registered voters from abroad on its website,” the CEC announced.

With this move the CEC said it wants to motivate all actors in the elections process to review the Central Voters Register and point out eventual irregularities, it said.
