An employee of a Minsk advertisement production company told about an unusual order from a physical person.

A customer, whose name is unknown, asked to produce a ballot box with double walls from plastic, “Salidarnasts” writes.

The payment for the work was carried out in cash through intermediaries. A ballot box has a design in which the walls are separated.

— If one uses such a ballot box at a polling station the following scheme will be possible. Ballot papers prepared beforehand are stored at the right part of a ballot box, and the voters throw their “papers” into the left part. The lid (a lower part of a ballot box) is open during the counting of votes, and the prepared ballot papers fall out, and “papers” remain, — the source explained.

A reporter of “Salidarnasts” called to the Central Electoral Commission and, presenting herself as a voter, interested, what ballot boxes will be used at the voting stations at the nearest presidential elections.

— These issues are solved by divisional election committees, — explained an employee of the Organizational and Legal Department of the Central Electoral Commission. – As a rule, the same ballot boxes are used at the elections. In case, they outwear for some reason, the new ones are produced. Such new ballot boxes are made for the polling stations which were established for the first time.
