Hoxha: 520 thousand citizens abroad benefit from the extension of the validity

The Minister of Interior, Ervin Hoxha, presented today at the plenary session of the Parliament the normative acts of the Council of Ministers that aim to extend the validity of the identification documents of Albanian citizens living and working abroad until the end of May.

Hoxha stated that the goal is for the diaspora to vote and exercise their right to vote in the May 2025 elections.

"We cannot allow the difficulties of renewing documents to become an obstacle to participation in the elections. The diaspora has made and continues to make an extraordinary contribution to the country. Our task is to do what is necessary to guarantee their inclusion in every decision-making related to our country," said Hoxha.

He added that the approval enables a very wide range of voters from abroad to register on the Electronic Registration Platform. Hoxha said that the number of Albanians who benefit from the approval of the acts is 520 thousand.

"Identitek is continuing the round of applications in mobile teams in large cities abroad where many Albanians live. The number of Albanian citizens with the right to vote whose identification documents have expired or may expire during this period is 520 thousand citizens ," the minister emphasized.

"The Council of Ministers proposes that the validity period of identification means of identity cards and passports, which ends on May 11, be extended until May 31, 2025 for citizens residing abroad ," he said.
