«Our monitoring will cover more than 100 localities, including Minsk, all provincial centers, the majority of district centers and some settlements in the countryside,» Dzyanis Sadouski, a coordinator of the Right of Choice group, told RFE/RL’s Belarus Service.
Sadouski emphasized that the observers will focus their attention primarily on voter turnout and vote counts.
The five-day early voting period in Minsk is from October 6 through October 10. Incumbent President Alyaksandr Lukashenka is being challenged in his post by three contenders: Tatsyana Karatkevich, Syarhey Haydukevich and Mikalay Ulakhovich.
