“I ask you not to forget that according to the good Belarusian tradition (perhaps the Soviet tradition), we have always held elections as a real holiday for people. Both buffets and concert venues were organized. Having voted, people were ready to listen to a good song so that the mood was decent. We must not forget about such a holiday this time too, ”he said at a meeting with the chairmen of the regional executive committees and the Minsk City Executive Committee, presidential aides in the regions and the city of Minsk.
Lukashenka added that the final stage of the election campaign has begun in the country, and early voting has started.
“I am told that work is going on in a regular mode. Of the 5.8 thousand sites, all of them work both domestically and abroad, ”BelTA quotes him.
Earlier, Lukashenka said that he was receiving information that “they do not want to hold presidential elections calmly in the country” and instructed to ensure security at the polling stations.
The elections of the Belarusian leader will be held on August 9. The Central Election Commission has registered five candidates for the post of head of state.
