In local elections held on Sunday, 45.36% of Kosovar citizens  have used  the right to vote  of 1.5 million eligible total number of voters, showing that the Republic of Kosovo is a young sovereign and growing democratic state in the Balkans peninsula.
 
The Republic of Kosovo Central Election Commission has estimated the successful organization of elections in Kosovo, an assessment that was also declared by international institutions, OSCE and namely foreign ambassadors accredited to the Republic of Kosovo.

Central Election Commissioner Lushta has made known that all polls are closed at 19:00, with exception of only five polling stations in Prishtina and in Mamushë, where even after this time there were citizens awaiting to vote at the polling stations.

Turn out in most cities has been well over 45 percent including among minorities, specifically Kosovar Serbs.
