"I believe that participating in elections is the civic duty of every Belarusian.

I have already made my choice. A choice in favour of a bright future for my country, its independence and peaceful development. I am for a strong and prosperous Belarus. I am for our children to live under a peaceful and calm sky, to have the opportunity to receive education and all material benefits. Today we have everything for this." - shared her opinion on the first day of early voting, Natalia Monchik, Chairperson of the Lepel District Trade Union Organization of the Belarusian Trade Union of Agricultural Industry Workers.
