In municipalities, residents welcome the electoral bus security / day

Aurika Zīvere, Head of the Smiltene County Election Commission, says 16 voters have voted on one route so far, and the other route 40 has been developed on the remote villages of the county, where there are land roads and rare public transport. Voters are both seniors and the younger generation working on the farm and cannot get to the polling stations.

The election bus will also run on Saturday, Election Day to cover densely populated areas in Smiltene, Zivere added.

When it comes to the technical problems of the electoral system, the Smiltene County polling stations have also encountered all the same problems found elsewhere in the country. « Our strong support this time is very smart IT professionals who help to deal with failures that arise, » Zivere admitted.

Ilze Rubene, Head of the Aluksne County Election Commission, welcomed the choice to secure the electoral buses, which had voted by 109 voters by Friday. She says that the election buses go to the outermost places in the county, where polling stations are far and difficult to reach. The voters of both social care center « Pīlādži » and « Aluksne » voted on the election buses. « In my opinion, the election bus is very successful in our region, » Rubene said. Even today and on election day, residents will have the opportunity to vote on the election bus.

In Olaine and Dobele County, the election bus will only run the previously announced route today and tomorrow.

Mārtiņš Grigorjevs, Chairman of the Olaine County Election Commission, informs that the election bus will go to Jāņupe tomorrow morning and in the afternoon to Medemciems.

In Dobele County, the election bus will run today and tomorrow, says Elita Dzērvīte, Head of the Dobele Regional Election Commission. The bus will go to the farther villages of the county, where there are no polling stations nearby and public transport is running once a week.
