CEC registered 3 more initiative groups in support of potential Presidential candidates

The Central Election Commission of Belarus met today, November 4th, to register another 3 initiative groups intending to collect signatures in support of potential Presidential candidates

Commission members reviewed documents submitted by individuals supporting Anna Kanopatskaya, Sergei Bobrikov, Sergei Syrankov, Diana Kovaleva, and Viktor Kulesh as candidates for the office of the President.

After studying the documents, the CEC has registered initiative groups of Ms. Kanopatskaya, Mr. Bobrikov, and Mr. Syrankov. At the same meeting, groups representing Ms. Kovaleva and Mr. Kulesh were denied registration: the former on the grounds of the insufficient number of members, the latter because they submitted their application without supplementing it with a list of group members.
