Little more than week remains before presidential election

2 октября 2015

The CEC held an extraordinary meeting. One of the issues on the agenda was the use of a symbol in the form of the letter «V» in the campaign of the candidate Alexander Lukashenko. The "Tick" is now on TV, banners, placards calling people to make their choice on October, 11. The headquarters of one of the candidates saw this as concealed campaigning.

Marianna Shchetkina as an agent of candidate Alexander Lukashenko clearly explains the fact that this symbol is not a hidden form of campaigning. This logo appeared five years ago and the "tick" is a call to come to the polls and to be politically active. However, it does not indicate any particular candidate.

The second issue discussed at the meeting was the organization of voting at the Belarusian nuclear power plant. About 3 thousand Belarusians work there and will not be able to vote at the place of registration. Therefore, the CEC decided to include these workers in the voter lists of Ostrovets district.

Tomorrow "Belarus 1" will broadcast a live televised debate of presidential candidates.
