Applications for the event was supplied members of the CCP BPF to the district administration Viciebsk. Total planned to hold a picket 21 – daily for a week on one day in each of the three areas of the city up to the main voting day.

Opposition activists wanted by pickets urge Viciebsk citizens not to participate in this election. After all, in their opinion, the current authorities of the country – are illegitimate, but because all of the choices that they make – are illegitimate too.

The district administrations have considered the application of the boycott supporters are not in accordance with the electoral law, which is something which allows you to hold pickets in a simplified mode, and in accordance with the Law on Mass Events, and local law Viciebsk – Executive Committee decision №881 from 10 July 2009, which requires the organizers shares have contracts with the department of the Interior, the clinic and the establishment of housing and communal services. It is the absence of these agreements, and has become a formal reason for the ban of pickets.

However, the prohibition of picketing by the local authorities does not mean that members of the Viciebsk CCP BPF completely refrain from carrying out their planned activities. During previous election campaigns in Belarus, they also tried to get permission to hold pickets in support of a boycott by the district authorities. However, not once, as now, their requests were not met, then they sometimes organized unauthorized rallies, for which they received the punishment from the courts in the form of fines and administrative arrest.
