Observers note low activity at the polling stations. Already in the morning the flats off the group with ballot boxes, because the sites are not in a hurry, even "the most reliable voters" – retirees.
One of the typical "pensioner sites» – 69 the October number constituency number 20 – is based in Vitsebsk secondary school number 28. Here, from the 2260 total of 164 voters voted early. And in the main voting day special activity is not visible, although attempts to entice people – are obvious: even a concert of children's amateur decided to organize the street.
Other statistics in the "student areas." For example, the section number 61 at the Medical University early in 1213 people voted in 2190. But on election day itself is empty. Do not attract voters or low prices in the cafeteria, where, by the way, and sell alcoholic beverages by the glass or sale of industrial goods without trade margins.
Dressers have always been a kind of indicator of voter turnout. But not today, traders say. If the morning to cheap food showed at least some interest in seniors and voters with small children, somewhere from dinner at tables or near the shelves you could not see a single person. Except that the members of the commission or alcohol lovers who are not looking for special occasions to enjoy the party...
Observers say that the low turnout seriously concerned about the commission. Ways to "remedy the situation" are looked different. So, yesterday, the last day of early voting, an hour of absence observer Andrei Keshenyuka on plot number 18 of the Railway constituency came just 168 people. At other times an hour there were not more than 10-15 people, wrote on his Facebook page, Mr. Andrew.
A Viciebsk human rights activist Paul Levinau reports and sensational information at all: according to him, in one of the military units of Viciebsk 96.19% of voters voted early. And elections there ended before noon September 11 with the complete victory of the pro-regime candidate, for which 100% of the electorate voted.
