Alexander Lukashenko noted that the Advisory Council of Heads of Electoral Bodies of the CIS member states was established quite recently. According to him, this indicates how much importance the Commonwealth countries attach to the organization of elections and referendums, the improvement of electoral legislation.

"Electoral campaigns have long ceased to be a technical procedure. This is already a battlefield in the pre-election and election periods, where the main actor is the bodies of the Central Election Commission", the President emphasized.
