Single Voting Day in 2024 will be held without electronic voting - Karpenko

17 ноября 2022
The electronic voting will not be used during the elections of 2024, as  the Chairman of Belarusian Central Election Commission Igor Karpenko stated to the journalists during the Belarusian-Russian Forum "Youth and Elections".

"You understand that electronic voting is not introduced so easily. Even the Russian Federation, which has had numerous election campaigns, still has not introduced e-voting everywhere. Today, the head of the Russian Central Election Commission talked about the problems that exist, including some psychological problems with the perception of e-voting. That is why we have to take into consideration all that experience," said Igor Karpenko.

According to him, first of all there should be safe platforms. "We have to go to set up the unified system of population register in our country and on its basis to create a register of voters. But I can say straight away that in 2024, the single day of voting will be traditional. In any case, without electronic voting," said the head of the CEC.
