Lazavik: Irregularities will not affect election results

No serious violations at polling stations have been detected during the election day on April 25, Central Election Commission secretary has said.  Mikalai Lazavik: “The telephone calls that we receive at the Central Election Commission display some defects in the operation of electoral commissions when preparing for the elections. For example, there are reports that someone was not included in the lists of citizens who have the right to vote at this polling station.

But such minor irregularities can be sorted out easily, he says. Such a person is simply be entered into the list. What important is to show a passport with the residence address.

Besides, among minor irregularities, Lazavik noted a ban for a ERB journalist to work at a polling station and that a huge number of flowers prevented observers to perform their duties. But he said that such 'minor things' could not affect the results of the polls.
