President always consults with the nation on all key issues, Karpenko says

"I would say this has a very deep sense of the rule of the people – the democracy of which many are talking now. With this in mind, it seems to me, the referendum and consultations with the people on key strategic issues of the country's development perfectly well emphasise this,” Igor Karpenko, the Chairman of the Central Commission of the Republic of Belarus on Elections and Holding Republican Referenda, said, BelTA reports

“The President of our country is consistent in this sense. He consults with the people on all key, important issues that concern the state, society and each person. It is no coincidence that this is not the first referendum in our country in the history of its sovereign development,” Mr. Karpenko added.

On January 20th, the President of Belarus signed the Decree On Calling the Nationwide Referendum. The main voting day is February 27th. It is also possible to cast votes regarding the amendments and additions to the country’s Basic Law ahead of schedule: February 22nd through February 26th
