A group of national observers from among the representatives of the country's socio-political organizations will carry out observation of the electoral process in all districts, at polling stations, as well as for the upcoming elections on Sunday. According to the information of national observers, who monitor the progress of all stages of the electoral process, the election campaign was conducted in compliance with the principle of competitiveness of candidates who have equal opportunities to acquaint voters with the provisions of their electoral programs.
