"Documents for nomination to the constituencies' election commissions can be submitted until August 30 inclusive. Therefore, the work is now for political parties and public associations, labor collectives - it is they who nominate candidates for the constituencies' election commissions. Since we have 110 electoral districts, there are 110 constituencies' election commissions. And in each region, there are territorial election commissions - regional and the Minsk city one," said Lidiya Yarmoshyna.
According to her, many public associations and political parties have already scheduled meetings of their governing bodies to nominate a representative. "I know that this Saturday, the governing body of the association 'Belaya Rus' will convene. Next week, the 'Belarusian Women's Union' will meet. I think many political parties will also take advantage of this," noted the Chairperson of the Central Election Commission.

After that, contenders for seats in parliament will be able to start submitting documents (first of all, on the registration of initiative groups for collecting voters' signatures for nomination).
