How is early voting proceeding in Vitebsk?
At polling station No. 8, located at Gymnasium No. 5 named after I. Lyudnikov in the Pervomaysky district of Vitebsk, full readiness for early voting was observed by 12:00 on January 21. The chairperson of the precinct election commission, Maria Zaitseva, held a meeting: she reminded everyone that early voting was beginning, then the ballot box was demonstrated to the commission members and observers as empty and then sealed.
Why did you come to vote early? Voters answer this question differently. Military pensioner Vladimir admits that he planned a two-day trip for the weekend. He will return late, and to avoid inconvenience to himself or the commission members (he admits that he himself was once in their place and understands how meticulously one should approach the matter), he decided to fulfill his civic duty early.
– The fact that every vote is important is not an empty phrase for me, – admits Vladimir. – And the future of the country is not indifferent to me.
A middle-aged woman, who introduced herself as Zoya, immediately admits: she waited for the start of voting and immediately hurried to the polling station, wanting to cast her vote among the first.
