1. No later than two days after the date of the elections, the LGEC or the ZEC, in the presence of the commission members, representatives of the electoral subjects and accredited Albanian and foreign observers, declares the results of the elections:
a) The chairman of the commission ensures that each ballot box is accounted for.
b)The ballot boxes are opened one at a time, checking whether the seal is the same seal recorded in the official records and whether the boxes contain the official records, ballot envelopes, unused ballots, ballot stubs, and seal of the VCC. The original copy of the tabulation is removed.
c)Each member of the commission may examine the official records.
d)At no time may ballots be examined, removed from the box or counted.
e)The ballot box is closed and sealed again, leaving aside the original tabulation of results. The number of the seal is recorded in the official records of the commission.
f)Any irregularities found in the ballot box are noted in the official records.
g)After all original tabulations of results have been removed, the chairman of the commission completes the tabulation of results for the electoral unit and declares a person elected to the position of deputy for the electoral unit, the number of votes cast for multi-party lists, and, if appropriate, the candidates for the second round of elections.
h)The chairman of the commission, along with the members of the commission and representatives of the electoral subjects who may be present, sign the tabulation of results for the electoral unit. The chairman provides a copy of the tabulation to all members of the commission, the representatives present, the candidates and Albanian and foreign observers who are present. The original copy of the tabulation is forwarded to the CEC, while a copy is posted in a visible place within the voting center.
i)If any members of the commission or representatives present object to the tabulation, the commission votes and takes a decision. The chairman records the nature of the problem and the reasons for the decision in the official records. The final tabulation reflects the decision taken. If a member or representative objects to the decision, he may add his comments to the official records.
2. All ballot boxes and records are retained by the LGEC or ZEC in accordance with the provisions of this Code and may only be opened by a judge during a recount of ballots or upon direction of the Constitutional Court or, as the case may be, the High Court in accordance with article 141 of this Code.
3. A recount of ballots may only occur after the declaration of the results of the election.
4. Only those persons mentioned in point 1 of this article may be present during the procedures set forth in this article.

The day after election day, as well as the following day, the mass media publish the final counts with regard to candidate selections. Newspapers and other media get the basic information directly from the individual election committees. Hence, most of the names of (possibly) elected candidates are known in the evening after election day.
When the central computations in the Ministry of Interior are completed - usually on the fifth day after the election - a summary of the election results, primarily containing the overall distribution of votes and seats among parties and candidates, is published.
