On February 1 the Central Election Commission started preparation for the “elections” to the “chamber of representatives.”

Radio Svaboda was informed about that by the Secretary of the CEC Mikalai Lazavik.

“We are not focused on a certain date of elections narrowly – they are to be held on September 11 or on any other day. In any case, we should do our work, and it is not connected with specific dates.

As compared to the previous “elections”, there would be certain changes in holding the current ones. But it’s all in our hands. We are preparing methodic recommendations, formulate and adopt regulations. Even if recommendations are ready, we would be able to amend them rapidly,” – the secretary said.

As said by Lazavik, possible changes in the election campaign could be discussed more exactly after the meeting of the CEC chairperson with Lukashenka:

“Lidziya Yarmoshyna has applied for such a meeting. Now we are waiting when the head of the state would be able to accept it,” – the secretary said.

Mikalai Lazavik said that September 11 is not the most convenient date for the “parliamentary elections”:

“Almost everything is to take place in summer period. I have a long established opinion that we should fix a single date for the “elections,” as it is done in some countries. For example, we should choose the second or the third Sunday of November, or March, for that. To my mind, these dates are the most convenient ones.

And the election schedule is shifted all the time in our country. And it happens so that the most active phase of the elections is to take place in summer this year. Electors have holidays in this period. And participants of the elections should stew in the sun to collect signatures,” – Lazavik said.
