before i go to vote, i i carefully familiarized myself with the candidates for local councils, deputies, regional councils and parliament, so i consciously voted, cast my vote for those people who believe that they will bring a certain way of life and development to both our oktyabrsky village, the smaleviche district, and the republic of belarus as a whole. i stopped by around lunchtime, voted everything, well, save time for the weekend and go somewhere. the main document when voting is a passport, you can use an id card, student id or driver's license. i have an opportunity vote not at the place of registration, but at the place of actual residence. to do this , today you can still contact your precinct commission; those voters who cannot come to the polling station on february 25 for health reasons or other valid reasons have the right to vote at home. the application must also be submitted in advance.

a gift edition of the constitution was issued, observers confirmed that yes, there really were such cases, somewhere in a hurry they simply didn’t have time to do it, but the commissions still promptly eliminated it, contacted these young people and presented this gift edition. in one of the settlements , a person complained that early voting was taking place in a small room, as our observers explained, this is a small room, it is really only used during early voting, on the main day... on the 25th,

a spacious room with already traditional buffet cultural program, in accordance with the center's hotline with comments and suggestions about voting you can: contact by phone today until 19:00, and tomorrow from 8:00 am to 20 pm. applications to the chat bot of the telegram channel are also accepted, and monitoring is carried out. there are over 560 sites operating in the grodno region. residents of the region approach their choice thoroughly and are very active. at polling station number 119, there has been a stir since the morning: families come to vote for candidates. the site operates on the basis of a music college, so guests are greeted with thunder. i was just praying for a happy, peaceful belarus, for the bright, dark skies, for the smiles of the peasants, happy, of course, the faith that the candidate for whom i was nominated

is the last one, and i hope that our belarus will continue to live in the future. we have the spirit of patriarchy, we are only for... peace, for friendship , so that all peoples are friendly, so that our country prospers, so that in our country , just like now, we are following such a course, so that this course continues, our area is very active, the first voter always comes traditionally already at the opening of the polling station, we we always greet them with our brass band, which also creates a festive atmosphere. of course, a lot of work was done before the start of early voting, all lists were verified so that citizens.

come vote early, because on sunday there will be a huge number of platforms where i will give people joy and my best songs. i have been to belarus several times for various elections at various levels, they have always been very organized, but today we arrived early to see how early voting was going, quite lively, that is, people took advantage of the opportunity , activity is always important, because it speaks of the legitimacy of the government, because the more people come, it doesn’t even matter who they choose, how they choose, but the main thing... once a person has come, here his civic position. let me remind you once again that today the polling stations are open until 7:00 p.m., tomorrow on the single voting day you can make your choice from 8 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. not only for belarus and russia this year

, the presidential elections in lithuania will take place in may 2024, and there are serious behind-the-scenes games in the struggle for power. at the same time, in our native country everything is as honest and transparent as possible. moreover, there is only one day in the year of quality. voting has every chance of becoming a benchmark for a high-quality election campaign, why? this is what the new release of the author's platform program is about. a return to real democracy is possible if elections are held in the interests of one’s own people, and not of external well-wishers. belarus has demonstrated this for many years in a row, but this year. quality brings this process to reference level. maxim osipov welcomes you. hello. single voting day is february 25th. but the current election campaign has long made it possible to draw certain conclusions. firstly, the thesis of the alleged lack of competition, exaggerated by opponents of the government

, is once again completely refuted by reality itself. after registration, 265 candidates are vying for 110 deputy seats in the house of representatives. age. from 23 to 66 years old, competition 2.4 people per seat, registered specifically in my constituency four candidates, but all six were nominated. there is no competition, you say, 18,802 people are vying for 12,514 seats in local councils of deputies, about one and a half per seat. secondly, the untenable reasoning of our country’s opponents about the absence of international observers, their number is in the hundreds, the mission of observers from the cis alone is about 150 of them, and how many observers are from other countries, including the european union, and this despite the fact that. .. the notorious osce mission did not receive an invitation, because in our elections we

i want to see objective and impartial specialists, and not zombie organs with pre-concocted absurd preparations, which our president spoke about last spring in his message to the belarusian people and parliament. i will say more, and the delegate of the supreme national assembly, representatives of local councils, and parliament will be chosen by the belarusian people only, and not some mythical ones. observers from the osce. thirdly, this election campaign is undergoing serious analytical components for the first time. a scientific expert team has been formed a council under the central election commission, which will help the central election commission analyze the implementation of legislation during elections. another public structure of the center for electoral commission is actively working - the youth council, whose members held many meetings with young people in the peer-to-peer format, since this is a single voting day. has its own specifics that need to be explained, fourthly, and this is the most important thing,

the improvement of the electoral code has made it possible to return the truly democratic essence of the electoral process, from now on even attempts, which are always fruitless, to turn the belarusian elections into an instrument of external political forces are excluded, and those who have a litvin passport, a pole card, the inside of grantosos, are all in the gardens, in the european one. in other words, in the year of quality, the belarusian electoral system demonstrated: a qualitatively new approach, not only a single voting day, competition between professionalism and patriotism, and not the populism of western worship; meanwhile, western democracy is rapidly degrading, a simple example: presidential elections are held in may lithuania, our neighbor, is being cut down by smith , the current president nausėda, according to the ratings, has every chance of winning, he is popular among all segments of the population, they immediately add, during the elections last december , they would vote for nausėda... 25.8% voters, that is, a quarter of voters in the lithuanian sense - this is every chance

of victory, but the victories of the pro-western limimetropes are always a feast, while farmers and working people of these countries continue to block roads and protest against the anti-people lawlessness of the inadequate authorities involved in legalizing cocaine and supporting bloodshed in ukraine, we continue to build our country calmly, confidently, efficiently, and we do it: for ourselves and for our children, i am sure, and now on the single voting day we will again prove our unity. the center of paris was once again occupied by farmers, today a major agricultural exhibition opens in the french capital, so the protesters decided to remind of their...
