Right of candidates for deputies for agitation via state media will be secured in accordance to the acting laws during the coming parliamentary election. Every candidate will receive five minutes for agitation on TV and radio.
Mikalai Lazovik, secretary of the Central Commission on Elections and Referendums, said it today in Minsk.
Electoral programme of a candidate for deputy can also be published in national state newspapers or in regional ones.
The Central Election Commission (CEC) spokesman said the CEC informational center would work in the Palace of Republic on the day of election. Its work is intended first of all for journalists and international observers, who will be able to receive online information about voting results.
Mikalai Lazovik reminded that according to laws of the Republic of Belarus, there were 3 ways of nomination of candidates for deputies: a candidate can be nominated by a labour collective, or a political party, or it can be any Belarusian citizen over 21, who has gathered 1000 votes in his or her support. A political party can nominee its candidates for all 110 electoral districts, if there are lower-level structures of a party on their territory. A labour collective can nominee one candidate in the electoral district, where a legal address of an enterprise is fixed, BelTA reports.
