“We see an increase in voter activity, and today voters are more active. I spoke to municipalities and they said large numbers of young people came to vote, voters are actively exercising their right to elect,” Laura Matjošaitytė, deputy chairman of the election watchdog, told BNS.
Early voting in the October 9 parliamentary elections opened in premises of all municipalities on Wednesday and will close at 8 p.m. on Thursday, providing an opportunity to cast ballots to those voters who are unable to come to their polling station on Sunday, the official election day.
