“The decision is made in accordance with Articles 125 and 126 of the Constitution of North Macedonia, upon the Government’s proposal, for a period of eight days beginning on June 15, 2020. Political parties have reached an agreement to hold the early parliamentary elections on July 15. Therefore, the decision to declare a state of emergency is made towards ensuring continual preparations for the elections, especially the enforcement of measures for protection of public health during the electoral process, during a coronavirus pandemic declared by the World Health Organization,” reads the press release.

It adds that the 8-day state of emergency will ensure a continual electoral process, a decision on scheduling the elections on July 15th by the Parliament Speaker, and altered timelines adopted by the State Election Commission.
