CEC recommends district election commissions to register all candidates on the same day /updated/

August 17, Minsk / Vasily Malashenkov - BELTA /. The Central Election Commission of Belarus recommends that district commissions register all candidates on the same day, the head of the CEC, Lidiya Yermoshina, told reporters today, according to a BELTA correspondent. "We recommend registering everyone simultaneously, even if all the documents for some of them have already been checked. We asked everyone to register on the second to last possible day, August 22. It is possible that where the commission cannot cope, registration will take place on August 23. But, again, this is on equal terms," said the head of the Central Election Commission. Lidiya Yermoshina noted that the process of registering candidates for deputies is quite complex. Commissions must verify the accuracy of the information contained in income and property declarations. For this purpose, requests are sent to the tax inspectorate, the traffic police and other bodies. "It takes a certain amount of time for these requests to be sent and for responses to be received," explained the head of the CEC. -0-
