In this setting, under notice come the activities of the chair of the Central Election Commission Lidziya Yarmoshyna, who appeared quite often in the media in the reporting period;

- in general, the provisions of the CEC Resolution No. 27 are followed: "Election 2019" banners are placed on the websites of executive committees, the information is posted in full compliance with the requirements of the CEC. However, we should note the absence of banners on the Belarusian language versions of some websites of the Hrodna district executive committees;

- prospective candidates and political parties do not show significant pre-election activity. However, the actions of individual activists in the provinces contain elements of covert election campaigning.
