July 10 (BTA) - The Central Election Commission (CEC)
decided on Saturday to allow real-time video recording and
streaming of the working process in the voting premises of
election sections upon declaring Election Day over.

The video record will cover the activities of election
commissions when tallying the results of the vote, counting the
paper ballots in sections that have used them, drawing up and
filling out the section protocols containing the results of the
voting in that section.

Other processes that may be recorded and streamed in real time
include handing, receiving and verifying voting section
protocols, and the transfer of data from the voting machines.
However, recording and streaming should not obstruct the work of
 the election administration.

Recording of voter information is not allowed.

A copy of the decision has been sent out to regional and section
 election administrations, and to the local governments.
