The CEC Deputy Chairman voices the initiative to change the construction of polling booths and make the silhouette of the voter appear better

CEC Deputy Chairman Giorgi Sioridze has voiced the initiative to change the construction of election booths.

As Sioridze explained at the briefing held at the CEC, as a result of the change in the construction, the silhouette of the voter will appear better, thus guaranteeing the secrecy of the ballot and excluding the practice of taking out ballot papers from the polling station or taking photos for the ballot paper.

"On my initiative and in consultation with the commission, as well as with political entities and non-governmental organizations, we have the idea to change the construction of the existing election booths and make the silhouette of the voter appear better. The secrecy of the ballot must be guaranteed, which reduces and eliminates the vicious practices associated with the taking out and getting in ballot papers to the polling stations, Armenian carousels and vicious practices related to the use of administrative resources, blackmail of people, the control mechanism of which was the photo-video shooting of the bulletin. The decision has not been made yet and in tomorrow's mock election voting will take place with these election booths", - said Giorgi Sioridze.
