THE COMPLAINT

On the actions of a district elective commission Grodno – Zanemansky Constituency #51.

 

We, the undersigned, members of the initiative group on petition to promote Alexander Alexadrovich Vasiliev as the candidate in the deputies of the Chamber of the Representatives at Grodno - Zanemansky constituency #51 declare that 11. 08. 2000 at 16.30 at the session of the district elective commission of the Grodno - Zanemansky constituency #51 we were refused to register our initiative group. In the oral form the chairman of the selective commission Vladimir Andreevich Khlabich said personally to Alexander Alexadrovich Vasiliev that the basis for the refusal to register the initiative group are:

1.   In the list of the members of initiative group it was pointed out that Alexander Alexadrovich Vasiliev is the businessman and works at the market "The Southern" in Grodno. The chairman of the district elective commission declared that it was necessary to specify the exact legal address instead of the market "The Southern", it was regarded by the selective commission as the breach of the requirements of the Elective Code and was one of the reasons to refuse in the registration.

2.   In the list of the members of the initiative group Anatoly Vasilievich Khomyachuk and Elena Alexandrovna Khomyachuk are specified, they live at: Grodno, Indurskoy highway 4/1 - 163. The chairman of the district elective commission declared that these citizens are not registered at this address that also is the sufficient reason for the refusal to register all initiative group.

Alexander Alexadrovich Vasiliev at the presence of all members of the elective commission tried to explain to Vladimir Andreevich Khlabich, the chairman of the elective commission, that the reasons for the refusal to register the initiative group are not proved, but V. A. Khlabich did not want to listen to the objections of A. A. Vasiliev and asked him to leave the room.

A. A. Vasiliev asked V. A. Khlabich, the chairman of the elective commission, to make an extract of the protocol of the session of the elective commission and to specify in it the reasons of the refusal to register the initiative group, and V. A. Khlabich said that the extract will be send by registered post. The next day, i.e. 12.08. 2000, after the repeated inquiry V. A. Khlabich, the chairman of the district elective commission, gave A. A. Vasiliev an extract from the protocol #4 of the session of the district elective commission. The reason of refusal to register the initiative group of the citizens on petition to support Alexander Alexadrovich Vasiliev was specified in the extract: «… in connection with insufficiency and unreliability of the items of information specified in the documents, given in the district elective commission.»

A. A. Vasiliev asked V. A. Khlabich, the chairman of the elective commission, in written form with the registration of this question in the working note book of the elective commission to answer the question: « Which items of information in the submitted documents did the selective commission find insufficient and doubtful?» V. A. Khlabich, the Chairman of the district selective commission informed, that in writing he will direct the answer to this question to the Central commission of the Republic of Belarus, in a case if the inquiry on this occasion arrive from there. He also read the message of any of division of MIA in Grodno, in which they told that A. V. Khomyachuk and E. A. Khomyachuk are not present in their lists.

As to the first reason of the refusal to register we explain you that according to the current legislation of the Republic of Belarus the conception «the legal address» is not applied to the individual businessmen. Alexander Alexandrovich Vasiliev, a businessman, was given: «The Certificate about All-republican registration of the businessman who is carrying out the activity without the formation of the juridical person». In this certificate is specified: «Grodno regional executive committee registered Alexander Alexandrovich Vasiliev who lives at:. Grodno, Indurskoy highway 4/1 - 136 as the businessman who is carrying out the activity without the formation of the juridical person, in the Register of the all-republican registration #2767 by the decision from November 12 1996 #412». This certificate allows Alexander Alexandrovich Vasiliev, a businessman to carry out the businessman’s activity in the Republic of Belarus what he and does. At the same time A. A. Vasiliev a businessman carries out the activity in Grodno at the market "The Southern" most frequently. So being guided by article 65 of the Elective Codes of the Republic of Belarus where they told: «In the list a surname, name and patronymic, the date of birth, profession, post (occupation), place of work and residence, party-membership of the person who is offered to promote the candidate in the deputies are specified … », it was written down that Alexander Alexandrovich Vasiliev, a businessman works at the market "The Southern" in Grodno that does not contradicts to the reality and to the full meets the requirements of the Elective Code. Besides Alexander Alexandrovich Vasiliev addressed repeatedly in the oral and written form to the chairman of the elective commission with a question: «Are the application for registration and list of the members of the initiative group made correctly?» And the chairman of the elective commission answered that the elective commission is given 5 days to consider the application and within 5 days the elective commission will not give any advice on these questions. It is necessary to notice that this question could be decided within several minutes as the certificate of the businessman was constantly at A. A. Vasiliev who daily with the beginning of the elective company came in the elective commission and was interested how the question about the registration of his initiative group is solved.

As to the second reason of the refusal to register we explain that Anatoly Vasilievich Khomichuk and Elena Alexandrovna Khomichuk who wished to participate in the work of the initiative group live to the address specified in the list of the members of the initiative group: «Grodno Indurskoy Highway 4/1 - 163». As the list was made in the Byelorussian language from their words a surname "Khomichuk” was deformed on "Khomyachuk". The elective commission would establish without any difficulty and in by any way that to the address specified in the list, really, the citizens of Belarus, the members of the initiative group with a surname "Khomichuk" who wanted to participate in its work live. Moreover, A. A. Vasiliev offered to V. A. Khlyabich, the chairman of the elective commission to present to the elective commission all members of the initiative group with their personal passports at once after submission of the application about the registration of the initiative group and the chairman of the elective commission said that it is not necessary to do. It is necessary to note that the list of the members of initiative group on petition of the voters to support Alexander Alexandrovich Vasiliev included 13 members and even if the chairman of the elective commission and its members have decided not to "trouble" themselves and not to execute the requirement of the Elective Code (article 42 item 5) and to exclude from its structure 2 members on a formal attribute, the rest of the members of the initiative group - "11" met the requirements of the Elective Code and could not a reason for the refusal to register the initiative group. Besides the elective commission and personally its chairman Vladimir Andreevich Khlyabich roughly breaks the requirements of article 65 of the Elective Code about the list of the members of an initiative group :«In the list …, place of residence of each member of a group and its chief are specified.» Having explained the refusal to register the initiative group V. A. Khlyabich, the chairman of the elective commission referred to the written message of any organisation (whether division of MIA, whether dentist’s office, it was not clear) in which it was informed that there are no the citizens of Belarus with the surname Khomyachuk in their lists to the specified address. On what basis V. A. Khlyabich, the chairman of the elective commission replaced the conception "a place of residence" to the with conception «transfer in any lists» and who gave him such rights it is not clear. Even if he meant «a place of the registration» even then he should know that a place of the registration and a place of residence it not one and the same.

It is necessary to remind, that according to the Civil Code of the Republic of Belarus signed by A. Lukashenko, the President of the Republic of Belarus 7. 12. 1998 for #218-3

“Article 19. A place of residence of a citizen

1.   A place of residence is that populated area where a citizen lives constantly or mainly”.

 According to article 65 of the Elective Code of the Republic of Belarus it does not mean that a member of the initiative group should be registered at the specified place of residence, especially, to be enlisted in any lists (including the dentist’s office). It is necessary to note that actually the district elective commission held aloof from the check of reliability of the items of information specified in the lists of initiative groups, including the check of a place of residence of members of initiative groups and was limited to formal inquiry in any organisations. It is the roughest breach of the Elective Code and testifies to inadequate execution of the duties by the members of the elective commission and personally by Vladimir Andreevich Khlyabich, its chairman.

Thus, we think that the members of the district elective commission of the Grodno - Zanemansky constituency #51 and personally Vladimir Andreevich Khlyabich its chairman roughly broke the requirements of article 42 item 5 of the Elective Code in which it is told that district elective commissions: «5) help to organise the promotion of the candidates in the deputies;». We regard that the wrongful refusal to register the initiative group is an action which deliberately interfere to the free realisation by citizens of the Republic of Belarus of the right to participate or to not participate in the election, for what according to article 49 of the Elective Code the members of an elective commission and its chairman should be called to account.

Simultaneously we inform you that during the elective company Vladimir Andreevich Khlyabich, a chairman of the elective commission of the Grodno - Zanemansky constituency #51 personally made a lot of roughest breach of the requirements of the Elective Code and current legislation of the Republic of Belarus. The mentioned below breaches interfered the citizens of the Republic of Belarus to get free the authentic and exact information concerning election, so:

·        Within several days after the beginning of the elective company in a room, where the elective commission is, there was No the Elective Code in Russian with all brought in changes and additions, that in writing is fixed in the working note-book of the elective commission. On questions of the voters: « Where is it possible to get aquatinted with the Elective Code with all changes and additions brought in to it?» they sent in "any" library.

·        Personally Vladimir Andreevich Khlyabich, a chairman of the elective commission, refused to give any advice about the order of registration of the documents at drawing up of the application about the registration of an initiative group referring to article 65 of the Elective Code, where, in his opinion, there is no any point that he is obliged to do such things.

·        Personally Vladimir Andreevich Khlyabich, a chairman of the elective commission, refused to show examples of the documents to register the application about the registration of an initiative group and lists of an initiative group in Russian.

·        Working note-books of the selective commission (The Diary of the registration of the documents and The Diary of the registration of the applications of the citizens) are made out with breaches of the current legislation of Belarus, determining the order of the office-work, in particular, note-books are not numbered, are not laced up, are not fastened by seals and are not registered anywhere.

Being guided by article 65 of the Elective Code, we ask you to cancel the decision of the Elective commission of the Grodno - Zanemansky constituency #51, in a part of the refusal to register the initiative group on petition of the voters to support Alexander Alexandrovich Vasiliev and we ask to assist in the registration of this initiative group.

 

12 signatures, members of the initiative group.
