The election was organized from scratch in the municipalities of Srbica, Glogovac and Decani, and repeated in some places in Malisevo and Lipljan.
Election Commission president Valdete Daka said the commission had received several "official complaints to the election process," adding that all complaints should be lodged with the competent bodies. She could not say when the preliminary results would come out.
The Democracy at Work NGO, whose observers watched the vote, reported a number of other irregularities, but declined to say whether they had altered the vote.
A repeat of elections was organized in 62 polling stations throughout Kosovo, with an estimated 133,000 voters. Some 2,000 observers watched the vote, including 100 from the EU.
