The dubious portal "specialja.com" has published an article titled "ONLINE POLLS Have Started - Read and Vote which party will win the elections?! LVV, LDK, PDK, AAK, or NISMA".
After fact-checking, conducted by hibrid.info, it has been confirmed that the article contains a fabricated title that does not correspond to the content.
There is no online poll in the content that allows voting for the political entities mentioned in the title.
After research conducted through online search engines, this dubious portal appears to have invented this title in order to stimulate clicks from readers.
Hibrid.info has managed to find the authentic article, published by the portal "Botasot.info" in October 2020. In fact, in the content of the article, there was a survey with the question "Should President Thaçi resign?" (see here)
So, the dubious portal has published this old poll, changing the title with the false claim that readers have the opportunity to vote for political entities.
Excerpt from the article published on the dubious portal "specialja.com":
ONLINE POLLS have started – Vote which party will win the local elections in October?! LVV, LDK, PDK, AAK, or NISMA
Vote in the Online Poll: Which party do you think will win the Kosovo local elections in the fall of 2021, VV; LDK; PDK; AAK or NISMA? The poll was conducted on the online website "strawpoll.com", which is one of the most accurate polling sites in which there can be no manipulation and each voter can only vote once, and no more.

This article was also shared on the social network Facebook by the page "Specialja", which has over 80 thousand followers. While this post has managed to collect many comments from readers, who seem to have fallen prey to this scam. (see here)
This old poll was published earlier by another dubious portal, which then falsely claimed that the Central Election Commission (CEC) had organized an online poll. This article was also verified by hibrid.info. (see here)
Analyze:
The dubious portal "specialja.com" has used an old 2020 poll related to Hashim Thaçi, which it has given a false title to in order to present it as current, with the claim that readers can vote for political entities.
There is no online survey in this article, as falsely claimed in the title.
This article was shared by the Facebook page "Specialja", which has over 80 likes. After verification by hibrid.info, it turns out that this article is categorized as "clickbait".
Reasoning:
The assessment as "Clickbait" is given to those texts whose title has no basis in the content of the following text. Such texts and articles aim to attract the attention of the reader or even the consumer with a sensational title by promising content that does not actually exist and are created mainly out of financial interest, that is, due to increased readability. So, this type of text is intended only to click, which can be converted into a profit for the content producer.
