Aleksandr Tishchenko said: “The elections that happen in our country proceed in a totally different dimension. A good after-action review took place after 2020.”

In her opinion, Belarus needs different political parties, which are united primarily by the understanding of how the country and the nation live. Bearing it in mind, the work of political parties should be primarily geared towards constructivism.

According to the CEC, voter turnout stood at 75.82% in Brest Oblast, 74.74% in Vitebsk Oblast, 75.85% in Gomel Oblast, 76.90% in Grodno Oblast, 74.20% in Minsk Oblast, 77.03% in Mogilev Oblast, and 61.54% in the city of Minsk.

“I am talking not only about the pressure of sanctions and challenges but about the overall geopolitical situation in the world,” the analyst remarked. “We see the trends that didn’t exist before such as artificial intelligence and information technologies, which are becoming a positive tool or a negative one.”

According to Natalya Kochanova, one of the main functions of the deputy corps is work on the bills that address problems prompted by life. This is why communication with people is very important.

A total of 5,411 polling stations were open from 8:00 till 20:00 on 25 February. Apart from that, some voters could cast their ballots at home.

Igor Karpenko said: “We did not restrict them. Everyone could independently choose and visit the polling stations they wanted to visit. We also organized everything for those, who requested trips to the regions. Including transportation and local guides.”

“Your elections are exceptionally democratic and transparent. I have seen a genuine interest in the voting process, which we in our European country cannot achieve so far,” added Daniel Petrov.

“I am very impressed by how the center’s work is organized. Similar structures are set up for election campaigns in Switzerland. However, in my opinion, people in Belarus have a more responsible attitude to the voting process,” noted Wilhelm Wyss.

“The voter turnout has reached 74.79% in Brest Oblast, 72.61% in Vitebsk Oblast, 74.13% in Gomel Oblast, 70.56% in Grodno Oblast, 70.27% in Minsk Oblast, 75.11% in Mogilev Oblast and 59.09% in Minsk,” the CEC informed.

“When we met yesterday with the chairs of the Council of the Republic, the House of Representatives and the Central Election Commission of Belarus, they asked international observers to give an objective assessment of the ongoing electoral process,” said Alisher Erbaev.

The analyst recalled that Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko had talked about it as well. “He said plainly that the system will be rebooted. New people will work in new ways with new powers. I think the parliament will have a bigger weight and significance in the society,” he believes.

The journalist remarked: “Another observation is a great number of nice people in Belarus. If I have any problem, I can turn to passers-by on the street, and they kindly help me and explain.”

“All in all, according to the population register, 96,000 citizens of the Russian Federation are included in the voting lists,” said Igor Karpenko.

“The voter turnout has reached 69.29% in Brest Oblast, 67.24% in Vitebsk Oblast, 70.74% in Gomel Oblast, 64.48% in Grodno Oblast, 64.13% in Minsk Oblast, 71.3% in Mogilev Oblast and 54.9% in Minsk,” the CEC informed.

“The elections are going on normally, with no emergencies or other situations that could affect the conduct of the elections and the freedom of expression of citizens. At least, we have not received any reports about incidents,” said Igor Karpenko.

“So far, we have not received information about violation of public order or provocations at polling stations,” said Yelena Baldovskaya.

“I voted for professionalism and devotion. A difficult time is ahead for us. In the Parliament we need people who are professional, reliable and devoted to the Belarusian people," Aleksandr Lukashenko said.

“Belarus is a crossroads of Europe and Eurasia. Belarus is a sovereign state and protects its interests. This is a great rarity in Europe,” the Italian observer emphasized. “Virtually no country in Europe can decide anything on its own - without the approval of the United States. In fact, Europe, the same as the European Union, does not represent its own interests, but those of the United States.”

"Voting in Belarus complies with democratic standards and rules," Gunnar Lindeman said.

The parties agreed on the need to raise awareness of the business community of the two countries about the economic potential, promising niches and business conditions. Nikolai Borisevich reaffirmed the readiness of the center to actively participate in this process.

“The voter turnout has reached 61.85% in Brest Oblast, 60.31% in Vitebsk Oblast, 67.09% in Gomel Oblast, 57.64% in Grodno Oblast, 56.97% in Minsk Oblast, 66.52% in Mogilev Oblast and 48.23% in Minsk,” Igor Karpenko said.

There is something the Eurasian Economic Union may borrow from the Union State of Belarus and Russia, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told the media.

Belarus and Russia can create an association that will make them even stronger, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko told the media after he cast his ballot in the parliamentary and local elections on 25 February.
