Polling stations in Belarus opened at 8:00 AM for the presidential election's main voting day, BelTA reported.
Voters must present a passport or other valid identification, such as a military ID, government service ID, driver’s license, or student ID, to receive a ballot.
Galina Kolentionova, Chairperson of Precinct Commission No.115 in Mogilev, noted that all necessary arrangements for comfortable voting are in place at Secondary School No.37.
The precinct, with over 2,000 voters, including 18 first-time voters, offers three voting booths, one of which is equipped for visually impaired individuals with a magnifying glass and a Braille overlay. Home voting is also available for those unable to attend in person.
Kolentionova highlighted the welcoming atmosphere, with staff ready to assist voters. To celebrate the day, the school organized a concert, a no-lose lottery, and trade services. She described voting as a community event, with families attending together and residents dressed up for the occasion.
Early voting saw high turnout, especially among elderly residents and youth, reflecting strong civic engagement. Polling stations will remain open until 8:00 PM.
