After returning from Poland, M. Levickis, who often plays abroad, submitted an application to the State Election Commission last week and declared that he would not be able to vote this year due to self-isolation. Martynas expressed his desire to cast his vote from home, but after completing the CEC application, he only received approval. No one came to Martin to accept his vote.
Martynas Levickis shared his disappointment and story on the social network.
“Attention Attention. Mane apvogė!
or
civil law, duty and elephant.
This week, after a 7 month hiatus, I had the opportunity to play for a foreign audience. 7 months of silence on stage outside of Lithuania is already unusual for me. Anyway, most of my career has been spent abroad. So this concert trip abroad was an important event for me. Close stranger, neighbor. I participated in a festival in Poland. Even before I left, I knew there was a high probability of being back.me in self-isolation. And today is your third day. It is also an election day that I will not attend.
Realizing that on Sunday, due to current restrictions, I could lose my right to vote, on Wednesday I applied to the CEC with a request to vote at home for self-isolation. The request was received, and it was all the information received from the CEC. Nothing else.
Last night I realized that civic duty and right had taken over and evaporated. That civic duty and that right that pressured me from within, when I was tortured watching the party debate, realizing that I have no one to vote for this year, because some do not believe, the second is desperate and the third does not correspond to my beliefs. .
What is more disgusting is that, looking at the last debate, I was not so convinced why I could afford to vote anyway; Let’s just say I smoothly built my pick on behalf of that position. And it’s in vain because nobody cares. What other welfare state, what other human rights and what other mutual respect are great things. The stews were diluted from the cheerful sputum of the hyssop on the sidewalk that he himself had just swept (this is not a literary testimony, but factual) of the disability of the CEC. And whoever is between these two randomly selected subjects can all fill in. It is a pity that even after 30 years of state-building, as the English say, we are not seen in the ivory room. Instead, we claim to have some kind of prosperity. Prosperity begins with respect for yourself and others, and even the elephant in the room. “ – wrote M. Levickis.
Such an open letter from the musician sparked an argument under his recording and received great support.
Later, the renowned musician announced that he had not received the attention of the CEC, so he left his house and went to vote.
“I broke my self-isolation and went to express my civic will. I hope that the issues of responsibility of the CEC are clarified ”, announced M. Levickis on the social network.
The CEC committed to investigating all reports of individuals unable to vote in isolation.
Already on the morning of October 11, the Central Electoral Commission (CEC) announced that it promised to clarify all reports of people in self-isolation without reaching the members of the electoral commission, but assured that they could be isolated cases instead of a systemic loophole. .
CEC media representative Indrė Ramanavičien B told BNS on Sunday that six such reports have been received so far, all of which will be investigated in detail.
According to the representative of the CEC, this year the workload of election organizers visiting citizens at home has increased significantly, as almost a quarter more people registered to vote at home than during the Seimas elections in 2016.
“This year, 22 percent registered to vote at home. More voters than four years ago in 2016. This year, 106 thousand people have the right to vote at home. 842 people, four years ago we had 87 thousand citizens. 433” , – declared a representative of the electoral commission to BNS.
“The burden on election commissions walking home and organizing voting at home has increased and there may have been some isolated cases where election commissions have not visited,” he said.
“It just came to our attention then. We currently have six appeals from people who wanted to vote in isolation and who have not come. We will clarify if there are more cases and explain each case specifically,” said I. Ramanavičienė.
On Saturday there were reports that several people in self-isolation due to the coronavirus had not reached the members of the electoral commission.
