Lidziya Yarmoshyna, chairwoman of the central election commission, said that transparent ballot boxes can be used during elections in Belarus, but money and initiative is needed.   "[Transparent] ballot boxes are not banned. If you have money you can order and cast your ballot into a transparent box. The law is not specific about it. This is a matter of those who equip polling stations. By the way, we have transparent ballot boxes in rich organizations. If an organization can afford it, go ahead and order it. But if this is to be specified in the law, additional funds would be needed. Quite a big amount," she told ERB.

 

She added that a request from foreign organizations to finance the purchase of transparent ballot boxes may be considered.
