The Centre for Monitoring and Research (CeMI) will monitor tomorrow's parliamentary and local elections in five municipalities, for which it has accredited 1,355 observers who, as announced, will be deployed at almost all polling stations in Montenegro.

CeMI's PR coordinator, Maja Bjelic, said that observers from that organization will also monitor the work of electoral committees, municipal election commissions, as well as the State Election Commission.

"In addition, we will cooperate with other competent institutions in connection with the election process," said Bjelic in a statement to the PR Center.

CeMI, as she clarified, will process received irregularities, which citizens will have the opportunity to report, as well as those they receive from observers.

"During the election day, CeMI will hold regular press conferences where we will inform citizens about irregularities, turnout and finally provide preliminary assessments of the election results after the polling stations close," said Bjelic.

She said that the PVT method used by CeMI is a very important segment in obtaining an estimate of the results, stating that it enables parallel counting of votes in real time.

Apart from regular press conferences, CeMI will communicate with the public through the websites www.izbori.cemi.org.me, www.ferizbori.me and www.cemi.org.me.

"On the website www.ferizbori.me, citizens will be able to download the application itself and report all observed irregularities through it." The application, except for reporting irregularities, contains information related to the election process itself. Through it, citizens will be able to follow the parallel counting of votes in real time. Also, communication with citizens will be possible through our profiles on social networks - Facebook, Twitter and Instagram," said Bjelic.

She said that projections of the preliminary election results can be expected around half past nine in the evening.

"The speed of the evaluation of the results will be affected by the work of the polling boards themselves." After receiving the data from the polling stations, we continue counting the votes and giving our estimates. Citizens will be able to monitor the arrival of data in our PVT center live. It is important to note that the arrival of live data does not mean that these are our final estimates. It is necessary to wait for the complete realization of the sample, which consists of about 400 polling stations, so that we can have a final assessment of the results. The work of the polling boards is expected to be slower due to the greater number of received requests for voting by letter, given the current epidemiological situation we are in, which may ultimately affect our speed of evaluations," said Bjelic.
