Brest: signatures are verified by forensic experts, police and housing
The 1st National
Channel showed in the block of news dedicated to the Brest region a piece of
news concerning the verification of the signature sheets of the potential
candidates for president.
Members of the territorial election commissions of Brest said that they had received for verification
signature sheets from the campaign teams of 11 candidates. According to the
law, they will have to check-up 20% of these signatures. The verification of
the signatures will be conducted with the participation of forensic experts. Members
of the election commissions phone to the signers and officers of the housing
offices and the local police check their home addresses.
According to members of the election commissions, the most widespread mistake
is the absence of the date and signature of the collector of signatures at the
signature sheets. One of the territorial election commissions also received an
application for revoking a signature in support of a candidate.
