Heads of Polatsk state enterprises forced to report on early vote turnout

The number of voters who have already cast their ballots as part of the early vote campaign has nearly doubled as compared with the two previous days of the early voting election stage.

Heads of Polatsk state enterprises and institutions have to report on the number of their employees who take part in the early vote to the town executive committee daily. There is not much pressure recorded yet, but there have been cases when people are recommended to vote early, since it is their ‘civil duty’.
