Kukës
Mayor
Next: Date pending. Window: 8 September 2026 to 8 March 2028. Checked 11 September 2026.
Three actual election events with full reported vote vectors; certification and comparability limits stated; 3 historical entries
Expected 2027 ordinary municipal cycle; formal polling day and final territorial map pending. Current 61-municipality map is a planning register. The 2019 opposition boycott prevents comparable three-event competitiveness and volatility scores. Reported count totals and certified winners are distinguished; the largest council list is not treated as the governing coalition. A 8 September statement proposes reducing 61 municipalities to 46; enacted boundaries and crosswalk are not yet verified.
