According to the ministry, this has already been agreed with the Central Electoral Commission (CEC).
“The Ministry will exceptionally allow voters in isolation from October 19 to 22, in compliance with all hygiene and safety requirements (personal protective equipment must be used: mask, respirator, etc. hours to leave the place of isolation and go to the polling station specially adapted for them, “the ministry informed the BNS on Thursday.
SAM emphasizes that voting will only be possible without getting out of the car.
“These mobile polling stations should appear in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, Šiauliai, the cities of Panevėžys and the municipalities of the Raseiniai district. The CEC takes care of this in cooperation with the municipalities, ”says BNS in the response.
At the time, Health Minister Aurelijus Veryga argued that people would be allowed to leave a place of isolation only after assessing the potential risks for which the person had to be isolated.
“If we are talking about people who have come from somewhere and are isolated not by illness or high contact, that should not be a problem, because it does not pose an additional threat even to those who will accept those voices. Clearly, using certain safeguards. Just so much that there should be no one, not a single city. I think we will agree on this, “A. Veryga told reporters at Seimas on Thursday.
According to him, the CEC will receive truthful information on why a person is isolated and if they have the right to leave the place of isolation.
The CEC ministry on Wednesday called for self-isolating voters to be allowed to leave home for two hours and reach special points.
The Vilnius municipality had already established such a voting point in advance in the first round of voting, but the ministry and epidemiologists did not allow those in isolation to vote here, stating that this would require changes in legislation. and this article was not adapted for such work.
During the first round, some isolated voters complained that they had not made it to the house of incoming polling commissions, and there were also those who were unable to vote when they had to be isolated after registering to vote at home.
