Homel region: office positions of members of territorial election commissions are indicated only in three districts

During the latest years the authorities traditionally report about the strict abidance to privisions of the Electoral Code: that one third of the members of the territorial election commissioners represent the public and political parties. However, the office positions held by the commissioners aren't specified, because as a rule these are officers of executive committees and other state agencies, nominated to the commissions by “citizens” and trade unions.

During the formation of the Homel Region Election Commission, the office positions of the commission members, nominated by “citizens”, weren't mentioned. The same concerns Homel City Election Commission.
