Alexander Subbotin checked the readiness of polling stations for voting
Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee Alexander Subbotin familiarized himself with the readiness of polling stations for voting, using polling stations No. 39 and 40, located at Secondary School No. 12 named after L. Filipenko in the Pervomaisky district of Vitebsk, as an example.
The Chairperson of the Precinct Election Commission of polling station No. 40, Elena Gireeva, demonstrated the results of the preparation: the polling station has been inspected by state fire supervision authorities, is under round-the-clock security by the police, and is equipped with alarm buttons. All necessary attributes were also demonstrated: transparent ballot boxes, equipped voting booths, and information about the presidential candidates. On the back of the received ballots, the chairperson and commission members put their signatures – on January 21, those wishing to vote early can come to the polling station, otherwise, the filled ballot will not be valid.
Magnifying glasses are provided for visually impaired voters, and stencils for independent voting have been made to assist the blind. Volunteer duty is planned to assist voters. Gifts have already been prepared for young citizens voting for the first time – the book "Symbols of Sovereign Belarus." In addition to interesting and informative articles, the reader will find QR codes in the book, by scanning which they can take a virtual journey to the Belovezhskaya Pushcha, see how flax grows in the fields, how one of our national treasures – the Slutsk sash – is made, and visit the Church-Monument in honor of All Saints in Minsk.
"The readiness of the polling stations is high. Early voting begins tomorrow. Therefore, in the region, every polling station is prepared and equipped with everything necessary, according to the requirements: ballot boxes are almost everywhere transparent or translucent, new, voting booths are installed, all handouts are ready," noted the head of the region. "Everything that is needed is in its place, commission members are ready to answer any questions that may arise, so I think everything should proceed smoothly and in accordance with the law."
