The first edition of the report “Bringing Justice to Elections” was published in 2015 and presented data on the elections held from 2009 to 2014. This is the second edition of the report that merges the data from the previous report with the data from the last local and parliamentary elections of 2017 and the parliamentary elections of 2019.

The data presented in this report includes: number of complaints and appeals submitted to ECAP, types of decisions and fines imposed on political entities by ECAP, number of penal cases against voting rights and judgments of the Courts, number of municipalities and polling stations holding repolls, number of recounted polling stations, and measures against media complaints. In instances where information was available, the data was broken down by the nature of violation, year, type of judgment, and municipality or region.

To prepare the second edition of the report, D4D collected raw data from the: Election Complaints and Appeals Panel (ECAP), Central Election Commission (CEC), State Prosecutor (SP), Kosovo Police (KP), Kosovo Judicial Council (KJC) and Independent Media Commission (IMC).

This report would not have been possible without the cooperation of the institutions which have generally provided access to data in a timely manner and have consistently been available for clarification and consultation.
