On September 23, the first day of duty precinct commissions observer Leonid Gorovoj, who is the coordinator of the observation of the movement "For Freedom" in the Vitebsk region, recorded violations at five polling stations in Haradok where the ballot at the place of residence of voters was made from 87 to 360 people.
Such violations in the Soviet area number 3 recorded and Leonid Avtukhov, BPF, which reported 157 such voters.
Leonid Gorovoj accredited on September 23 as an observer at five polling stations, immediately gave each of them the same type of violation. Get information on the number of registered voters and voters in the area, which are included in the list for voting at the place of residence, he saw the last page of the respective lists, which was filled with the violation of the rules approved in the annex to the decision of the CEC №10 №11. According to this rule must be secured not only the basic data of the voter, but also the date and time of acceptance of the application, which was not done.
But even more surprised by the number of human rights defender Haradok citizens who for nearly two weeks before the election, decided to vote without leaving their own home. This extraordinary activity on the background of general political apathy in the country seemed completely unnatural. See for yourself: at the polling station №1 Bagramyanovskom registered voters in 1912, of them - 87 who wanted to vote at home; on the site №2 Komsomolsk - 2106 home - 172; on site №4 Zarechensk - 924 at home - 109; on a plot №5 Gagarin - 1500, at home - 360; in the area of the railway station №6 - 1901, at home - 193. The same situation was registered public activists Leanid Autukhou who received the accreditation of observers at the polling station №3 Soviet (total - in 1539, and at home - 157 voters).
According to the schedule on September 23 election commissions began their work. Duty was organized from 17:00 to 19:00 hours, and during that time, even the two members could not physically write so many who want to vote at home. Obviously - this has been done in advance. These circumstances suggest that voters are not treated the statements of election commissions, and the Commission drew up their own lists of voters without.
September 24 due to apparent violations of the law - arbitrarily organization of voting at the place of residence of the voter - in Haradok District Commission on Presidential Elections human rights activist Leanid Gorov was filed just five complaints of violation of freedom of expression of the voters of the relevant precinct township. These complaints observer Gorovoj requires recognition by lists for the voting at the place of residence of voters invalid oblige election commissions to conduct this list only at the request and inform the voters of the district voters strict compliance with the electoral law on the organization of the vote on the place of residence of voters.
"These violations resent the fact that members of election commissions violated not only the election law, but first and foremost the country's Constitution, which in Article 64 guarantees every citizen the right to participate or not participate in the elections. And the second point, which is worth paying attention to : thus, the Commission will organize an artificial increase in participants of the elections, the turnout of potential voters artificially high through massive vote outside the Commission, which independent observers track will be almost impossible. This stage of the elections is quite favorable for falsification. There were areas where nearly a quarter of the electorate voted in the place his residence. However, with so many wanting to "ready" for the first day of the precinct election commissions enroll to vote at the place of residence, have to face for the first time. But what can you do to legal impunity encourages lawlessness ", - says Leonid Gorovoj.
With this kind of violations Gorovoj had to deal with in the past, during the observation of the election campaign to the local councils. Even then, it was noticed a definite pattern: the number of those wishing to vote at the place of residence in the same area increased from one election campaign to another (80, 115, 350 people), and here - 360 voters in the first day of the precinct election commissions. There is much to ponder.
In view of the above it sounded we can say that even when the polls come less than half of voters in power will remain sufficiently effective tool to increase the number of voters. And then it does not matter whether these citizens have voted on their own, or under pressure from members of election commissions, who came directly to their place of residence.
The campaign for election observation "Right of Choice 2015" consists of eight organizations: the Belarusian Social Democratic Party (Hramada), "Belarusian Christian Democracy", "Tell the truth!" Movement "For Freedom", BPF Party, the Belarusian Party "Green "independent trade union of radio-electronic industry, the organizing committee of the Party of Freedom and Progress.
The main goal of this campaign is to protect the will of the citizens through the prevention of violations of the law at all stages of the election campaign, the fixation of violations and a prompt response to them.
