Doubtful portals have published several articles claiming that the Central Election Commission (CEC) has created polls regarding the results of political entities in the elections.
In some of these articles published by dubious portals, there is no poll within the text, as claimed in the title, while in some of them you can even vote.
However, the CEC has denied these news items circulating on social networks, clarifying that this institution has never created polls regarding the results of political entities in elections, and has called on citizens not to provide their requested data, because it could be misused.
"The Central Election Commission announces that the polls that are circulating on social networks as being organized by the CEC are false. It is not at all true that the CEC has organized any poll of any kind. We also call on citizens not to provide their data that is requested, because it can be misused," said CEC spokesperson Valmir Elezi.
