Chairman of the Standing Committee on State Construction, Local Government and the rules of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly, Alexander Zozulya on behalf of the deputies - members of the committee thanked Leonid Svetsik for taking the initiative and a proactive stance. In the process of preparing the draft law "On Amendments to the Electoral Code of the Republic of Belarus", a human rights activist sent to parliament a proposal for the changes that, in his opinion, should be made.

For example, if the head of the electoral commission did not comply with the law on citizens and legal entities can not be held liable because the courts do not recognize the legal status of any commissions: they say, is not an organization, but because the action of this law they are not spreads.

"Parliamentarians - members of the Standing Committee, as effective advocates openness and transparency of electoral actions and procedures, share your commitment to improving electoral legislation of the Republic of Belarus... Raised in your circulation problem will be taken into account by deputies - members of the standing committee, if introduced into the House of Representatives a bill providing for the adjustment of the Electoral Code of the Republic of Belarus ", - promised the chairman of the House Committee Vitebsk human rights activist.
