Withdrawn candidates still on ballots

The electoral commission claims the information came "too late" to change the lists.

The first voting day: you can vote for UCP candidate Uladzimir Ramanouski in Minsk constituency #99. But he has withdrawn!

Constituency #99: "We received a letter from the party yesterday evening. The final decision will be made at the today's meeting”.
