RIK releases voter tally

From the article:

"RIK also confirmed that there are a total of 91,639 registered voters in Kosovo."

Hmmm - I had expected more registered voters. Can anyone more familiar with the situation tell me what the requirements are to become a registered voter?

hans christian, first, you must be a legal resident. meaning, not for instance someone who crossed the state border sometime in the past on a back of a mule on a rainy night when the clouds are low and its pitch dark, and then stayed. or someone whose parents or grandparents did this. so, how do you prove you're citizen and legal resident? you take your birth certificate, issued by the state of serbia, citizenship certificate, also issued by the state of serbia (by municipal registrar's office) two 5x5 centimeter recent photos, and you go to your local friendly mup station. there, you fill out a form with your general information, sign it, pay taxes that now come to about 12 or 13 euros, and this is how you apply for your id card. the two certificates that i mentioned, birth and citizenship, will contain what is similar to america's social security number, we call it jmbg. your brand new id card will also contain this number, a very crucial thing. Now that you are a legal citizen with id to show as proof, you should be automatically added to the voter list once you turn 18. if however you are not, or if you are changing place of residence, because voter lists are municipal thingies, you go to your municipality and complain about it, or report your new address with mup. they check your data and, voila, soon you will be in the voter list, and 10 days or a week before elections you will receive invitation to vote. it will tell you: on this day, from this to this hour, at the voting station number this, in this street, you can cast your vote in this election. bring this invitation and a valid id card or passport with you for the purpose of identification.
if you have any more questions i stand at your disposal :)
