  Election campaigns in Albania are regulated to initiate 30 days before the scheduled election date and must conclude 24 hours prior to voting. The day preceding and election day are designated as periods of electoral silence, during which all campaigning is prohibited.
  
  For the first time in history, the Albanian diaspora was able to vote through mail. By the time the registration period expired on 5 March 2025, 294,155 voters had registered to vote from overseas. Among those who had registered, 245,935 voters were approved as eligible voters.
  
  Chris LaCivita and Paul Manafort, who previously served as senior advisors of Donald Trump 's presidential campaigns, were both hired to serve as the head campaign advisor and strategic campaign assistant respectively to the Democratic Party of Albania and Sali Berisha.
  
  The campaign of this election was characterized by the vast use of social media, especially from smaller parties, as they did not have as much television access compared to larger parties.
