PRISTINA, KOSOVO - NOV. 9: Voters in Kosovo went to the polls on Sunday, Nov. 9, for the second round of local elections in 18 municipalities where no candidate secured more than 50 percent of the vote in the first round.

Polling stations opened at 7 a.m. local time, with 1,316,672 registered voters eligible to cast their ballots until 7 p.m. to elect mayors in 18 out of the country’s 38 municipalities.

Local elections in Kosovo are held every four years. In municipalities where no candidate achieved an outright majority in the first round held on October 12, the two top candidates are competing in the runoff.

The second round is taking place in the capital Pristina, in Prizren, and in Mamusha, Kosovo’s only Turkish-majority municipality, where Democratic Turkish Party (KDTP) candidate Abdülhadi Krasniç is facing Fikret Morina from the Mamusha People’s Movement (MHH).

The Central Election Commission (CEC) is expected to announce preliminary unofficial results before midnight. CEC President Kreshnik Radoniqi said all preparations had been completed and called on citizens to participate and follow the rules.

The last local elections in Kosovo were held in 2021.
