Parliamentary elections were held inBelarus on 17 October 2004, with a second round of voting in two constituencies on 27 October, and a third round in one on 20 March 2005.[1][2] The vast majority of successful candidates, 98 of 110, were independents. Voter turnout was reported to be 90% in the first round.[2]
A total of 359 candidates contested the election, with opposing parties claiming that around 40% of their candidates were not registered.[2] TheOCSE delegation noted that although all candidates were given a set amount of free television and radio airtime and a free statement in the national press, over 80% of television news time was dedicated to PresidentAlexander Lukashenko in the five weeks before the election. They also noted concerns about the independence of the Electoral Commission and a lack of transparency during the voting and counting process.[2] The government also closed down nine independent newspapers in the lead-up to the elections.[2]
