Policemen, not transparent ballot boxes, to grant election transparency

Transparency of the Belarusian election is in no way connected with transparency of ballot-boxes. The CEC Chairperson Lidzia Yarmoshyna has declared such an opinion answering the question about the absence of transparent ballot-boxes at the majority of the election precincts. 
Yarmoshyna: “We shouldn't equalize transparency of ballot-boxes and transparency of the election. You know, in such case we should understand the concept of openness of the election process too literarily. As our legislation says nothing about the material for making ballot-boxes, this discussion gets political, and is not connected with the election process”.

To the opinion of the CEC Chairperson, the best guarantee from violations and falsifications is that the ballot-boxes should be sealed and guarded by policemen. As for the rumours that all the falsifications occur at night at the election precincts, she said they had been invented by those who prepared for failure.
