New content
The central election commission on Wednesday started examining appeals against denial of registration as candidate filed by parliamentary hopefuls.
On September 3 the commission was expected to consider 30 complaints sent in from places other than Minsk, according to Mikalaj Lazavik, secretary of the commission. Seven complaints came from the Mahilou region, six from the Harodnia region, five from the Homiel and Minsk regions each, four from the Brest region and three from the Viciebsk region.
The biggest number of complaints about ballot access denial, 20, came from Minsk-based parliamentary contenders and the appeals are to be examined on September 4.
A total of 365 people reportedly applied for registration as parliamentary candidate, almost two times fewer than in the previous parliamentary elections held in 2004. As many as 276 people were granted registration.
Meanwhile, television and radio channels were expected to start running pre-recorded five-minute speeches by candidates on Wednesday.
Candidates are to appear on television between 5:30 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. and on radio between 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.
