Brest mobile election commission visits 240 voters within 7 hours

Not all the inhabitants of agro-won Lyuban, Brest Province, have come to polling station #41 today. 240 out of 630 people who had to vote their decided to do it at home.

Half of the voters were elderly people who wanted to vote at home, divisional election committee members explained to Euroradio.

Committee member: “Half of local inhabitants are elderly people. Somebody asked us to come by phone, others sent their requests with the help of neighbours. The houses are scattered here, they are like isolated farmsteads situated 4 km away from one another.”  

However, it is not clear how the committee members managed to visit 240 people in 7 hours. Only 17% of local inhabitants voted early at this polling station.
