Two candidates removed from ballot in Brest district
The election commission of the number 2 Tsentralny district in Brest cancelled the registration of two candidates, reducing the number of contenders on the ballot to six.
As Lyudmila Kapustina, the district's top election official, told BelaPAN, the commission on Thursday dropped Dmitry Shimansky, a member of the Belarusian Popular Front (BPF), for attracting funds for electioneering from sources not specified by the Electoral Code.
Independent candidate Andrei Sumar was removed from the ballot the day before for allegedly misreporting his incomes.
The law entitles both candidates to appeal the decision to the central election commission within three days.
