CEC Albania is conducting the training of operators of electronic devices for the identification of voters (PEI). The aim of the training is to familiarize the operators with their role and duties on election day. During these training sessions, operators are receiving information on the use and functioning of the PEI device.

Through practical exercises, operators are also being trained for specific and unique situations that they may face during election day, such as the voter not knowing which finger to use for identification, the electronic identification not being accepted by the voter, the signals the device gives when the voter is not at their designated polling station, attempted multiple voting, and others.

In the coming days, the locations and dates of additional training sessions will be determined for new applications for PEI, for applicants who did not participate in the initial training sessions, as well as for those who did not qualify and for replacements of those who withdraw after training.

Electronic identification of the voter will be carried out at all polling stations (5211 in total), and through intensive training, CEC aims to train even substitute operators.
