Voting will be extended at some polling stations due to voting interruptions lasting more than an hour. Due to that, the election silence continues. The election silence will last as long as the voting lasts, because there are crowds in front of the polling stations, said the President of the SEC, Aleksandar Dashtevski. 

Voting interruptions are usually due to problems with fingerprints. although the SEC at the last press conference at 17 pm said that 99,97% of the biometric voter identification devices worked properly and there was no reason to switch to the old way of voting.

The SEC sent instructions to election boards, one member from outside to regulate voter turnout to ease the stalemate.
