More than 200 nomination groups applied for registration

District election commissions have received more than 200 applications for the registration of groups that intend to collect ballot-access signatures for parliamentary candidates, Mikalay Lazavik, secretary of the central election commission, told ERB.

Some of the groups have already been registered, he said, but would not specify the exact number.

 

"Commissions were formed on July 14. Nomination groups could file applications between July 14 and 24. Under the law, a district commission has five days to consider an application," Lazavik explained.

 

July 24 is the deadline for applying for the registration of nomination groups.
