2 History of elections History of local elections in Kosovo dates back to 2000, which marked the first elections held, followed by 5 local elections up to now (in 2002, 2007, 2009, 2013 and 2017). After the end of the war, the first elections at the local level were held on October 28, 2000, which were administered and supervised by OMIK (The OSCE Mission in Kosovo). The second local elections were held on October 26, During 2002, UNMIK s decision had been to postpone the mandate of Municipal Assemblies until As a result, joint central and local elections were held in The third local elections were held on November 17, 2007, which marked the first local elections organized by UNMIK/OMIK with temporary self-governing institutions, before Kosovo declared its independence. Until 2007, citizens voted in closed lists for the parties that would be represented in the Municipal Assembly based on UNMIK Regulation 2000/45 (On the municipal self-governance). In this case, the municipal assembly members were elected by the Chairperson of the Assembly. Apart from exercising the duty in the Assembly, the Chairperson was also a representative of the Municipality. Whereas, the Chief Executive Officer held the executive role and was elected by the Municipal Assembly. Since 2007, the amendment of the Regulation 2000/45 with that of 2007/30 (Amendment of the regulation no. 2000/45 on self-governance of Municipalities in Kosovo), the direct election system for the two municipal bodies was implemented: the Mayor and the Municipal Assembly. This was done through two different ballots; one for the mayor and one for the municipal assembly members in open lists for candidates. Meanwhile, the mandate received in 2007 was shortened and completed in 2009 due to the implementation of the decentralization process derived from the Ahtisaari President proposal for the status of Kosovo. After the independence in Kosovo, the fourth local elections took place on November 15, 2009, organized by the Central Election Commission based on the Law on Local Self-Government, the Law on Local and General Elections in the Republic of Kosovo. On November 3, 2013, the fifth local election were held. The 2013 local elections mark the first time of local elections being held in every territory of Kosovo, including the Serb majority municipalities (North Mitrovica, Zveçan, Zubin Potok and Leposaviç). The last Local Elections 2017 The most recent local elections in Kosovo were held on October 22, A total of 1,890,952 citizens were registered in the lists for local election voting, while the number of those who voted was 811,650 or 44.1%. These elections included 91 political entities, including: 35 political parties, 30 citizen initiatives, 1 coalition and 25 independent candidates. There were 204 candidates running for Municipal Mayors and 7,080 candidates running for 1002 seats in the Municipal Assemblies. Out of 204 candidates for Municipal Mayors, 8 of them were women, however, none of whom received enough votes to lead one of the municipalities. Out of 38 municipalities, 20 of them entered the runoff voting/ballotage. Out of 1,353,613 registered voters, 516,573 or % voted in the second round. After detected issues in the second round in the Municipality of Istog, it was re-voted on December 17, 2017.
