25 days remain until 26 October elections. 3 031 polling stations are set up nationwide. Precinct Election Commissions (PECs) commenced working from September 26.

PEC members have already commenced distributing voter cards. Additionally, as we are aware, members appointed by some parties do not show up at polling stations and are not engaged in the work of the commissions, including in distribution of voter cards. We urge them to fully participate in the commission"s work, as the scope of this process requires the involvement of all members.

We remind you that as part of the electoral reform, some polling stations were expanded due to the increased voter capacity limit. As a result, some voters will need to vote at a different location than in the previous election. Therefore, it is important for them to check their information and confirm their polling station in advance.

Requests for changes to the voter list can be submitted no later than October 8. The Election Administration urges everyone to actively check their information in the unified voter lists.
