MINSK, 27 February (BelTA) - Such a high turnout during the early voting was a predicted matter, Chairman of the Central Election Commission (CEC) of Belarus Igor Karpenko said in an interview to Belarus 1 TV channel, BelTA has learned.
The turnout at the early voting for the constitutional referendum in Belarus totaled 42.93% of eligible voters.
