"As of 6:00 p.m., voter turnout was 81.5 percent," Baldovskaya noted, speaking at a press conference.

Earlier, the head of the Belarusian Central Election Commission Igor Karpenko said at a press conference that by 16:00, 75.49 percent of the country's citizens had voted in the elections. At the same time, the highest turnout at that time was recorded in the Mogilev region – 83.12 percent.
