They do have several parties representing on the elections. As we thought, told according the region they can produce more or less the parties. I also saw they have observers for each party repetitive, which is also very good so each party is on the ballot paper, has its own party observer. So I do hope that it’s to the end of the voting process everything will go as smoothly as it started’.
