Belarusians said that they boycotted the 'election farce'.
On Sunday, January 26, the so-called 'elections' were held in Belarus. The turnout was disastrous throughout the country. Mediazona readers told that they boycotted the 'election farce':
"I didn't go to vote, I didn't see the point. I knew my vote would be counted, and I didn't want to contribute to the illusion of turnout. I fully understood the reasons behind the timing of these 'elections' and why everything was organized that way."
"I left the country for the weekend to be on the safe side. I’m not the only one taking this step — it's a typical precaution for those who’ve been detained for something similar."
"A day like any other, no holiday, no mourning. I didn't go anywhere — we were celebrating a friend's birthday."
