Yarmoshyna: Observers' wish to stay overnight is a provocation
The observers complaints that they are not allowed to stay overnight at election precincts to guard the ballot-boxes is a purposeful provocation. A corresponding position of the Central Election Commission has been announced today by the CEC Chairperson Lidzia Yarmoshyna.
Lidzia Yarmoshyna: “The most frequent complaint is that the observers are not allowed to stay overnight at election precincts. However, no one is supposed to provide them such an opportunity as the Central Commission has adopted a clear resolution on this issue. Thus, all the attempts to stay overnight in the premises of election precincts to guard the ballot-boxes are nothing more than planned provocation. Moreover, the people who do it know they break the law”.
According to Yarmoshyna, the CEC has also received two appeals with regard to forcible early voting. She said they were being checked. There have been no more complaints on any other violations. Thus, the CEC Chairperson is convinced the election campaign goes quietly, despite the attempts of certain presidential candidates and their supporters to sharpen the situation.
