VMRO-DPMNE political modernization and reform efforts

Overview

The VMRO-DPMNE party in North Macedonia has initiated efforts to modernize its organizational and electoral presence. In late August 2026, the party launched a three-month digital membership and recruitment campaign under the slogan ‘Together for the Future – Join!’. This initiative introduced a digital registration process via a web application, marking a first for a political party in the country.

By late September 2026, the party’s focus expanded to broader electoral reforms. Representative Antonio Milošoski stated the party’s support for diaspora voting rights through electronic or postal methods and expressed willingness to support public funding for political parties. The party also indicated it would consider a single electoral unit if consensus is reached, aiming to align the Electoral Code with OSCE/ODIHR recommendations despite challenges such as boycotts by the SDSM.
