CEC: Only members of initiative groups can collect citizens' signatures
Collection of citizens' signatures can only be carried out by members of initiative groups.
This was reported by the head of the department of legal, analytical and methodological work of the Central Electoral Commission of Belarus, Elena Grigorovich, on November 6 at a seminar dedicated to information support for the electoral campaign.
The event took place at the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation, BELTA reports.
What the Central Election Commission said about collecting signatures
The signature collection begins tomorrow. As Grigorovich explained, signature collection can take place in organizations, at home, in the form of picketing in places not prohibited by local executive and administrative bodies.
The executive committees have already made the relevant decisions, which can be found on the official websites of the executive committees.
Only members of the initiative group can collect signatures. They will have identification cards - laminated cards.
The Central Election Commission has already issued them. The certificate does not contain a photo, so the signature collector must present an identity document.
You can find out whether a person is a member of an initiative group at the territorial election commission or the CEC call center.
Let us recall that the Central Election Commission registered seven initiative groups: the current President Alexander Lukashenko, the First Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Belarus Sergei Syrankov, the leader of the Russian Party of Turks and Turks Alexander Khizhnyak, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Belarus Oleg Gaidukevich, the head of the Main Department of Ideological Work and Youth Affairs of the Minsk City Executive Committee Olga Chemodanova, a member of the Belaya Rus party Sergei Bobrikov and individual entrepreneur Anna Kanopatskaya.
