The 2019 local elections will take place on June 30. President Ilir Meta decreed the date for the elections today, after consulting with the leaders of parliamentary groups.
On October 31, the President met separately with Socialist parliamentary group leader Taulant Balla, Democrat parliamentary group leader Edmond Spaho, and the head of the LSI parliamentary group Luan Rama.
President Meta did not take into account Balla’s request to assign an earlier election date, so as not to impede the tourist season.
The previous local elections were held on June 21, 2015.
