Belarus Elections

Central Elections Commission Chairwoman Lidiya Yermoshina speaks during a news conference in Minsk, Belarus, early Monday, Sept. 24, 2012. Yermoshina said Monday that only official turnout tallies would be considered, and downplayed assessments by independent observers. She reported a preliminary turnout figure of 74.3 percent. Parliamentary elections were held Sunday without the main opposition parties, which boycotted the vote to protest the detention of political prisoners and opportunities for election fraud.
