Brest: six multistoried buildings ‘went missing’ during determination of boundaries of election constituencies

The Brest human rights defender Siarhei Vakulenka turned the attention of the authorities to the fact that multistoried houses 56, 57, 61, 62 and 63 in Mitskevich Street and house 52/1 in Kirau Street weren’t mentioned in the decision of the Brest city executive committee determining the boundaries of the city constituencies on elections t the Brest city Soviet of Deputies of the 26th Convocation.

The number of the electors living in the ‘missing’ houses could amount to 20% of the present number of electors at precinct #14 (5 037 persons).

Siarhei Vakulenka requested explanations

In some time the missing dwelling houses were taken into account during the determination of the boundaries of the precincts by the Brest city territorial election commission. As it follows from a publication in Viacherni Brest, houses 56, 57, 61, 62 and 63 in Mitskevich Street were attributed to election precinct #55 and house 52/1 in Kirau Street – to precinct #54.

The number of electors at precinct #14 must significantly increase after the mistake is corrected.
