To enable persons with visual disabilities to vote without the help of a third person, the Central Electoral Commission will equip all voting places with template envelopes. These envelopes are made of a flexible white material, and on the right side they have special punched holes, where the “Voted” stamp shall be applied, against the quadrangles of electoral contestants. The voter shall identify the electoral contestant’s number in the ballot prepared in Braille language by feeling it and counting holes on the right side of the template envelope, and then apply the “Voted” stamp in the ballot, without needing a guide.

Ruslan Belousov, candidate for mayor of Balti municipality, said at a press conference that after the elections of 14 June he will propose a referendum to decide on changing the capital city from Chisinau to Balti. “In our opinion, it would, first, facilitate attraction of investments to Balti and thus develop the region’s economy. Second, it would contribute to the separation of powers, if only the legislative power and the executive authorities ensuring national security were moved to Balti, while the Government stayed in Chisinau,” the candidate said. // IPN
