Belarus is preparing for its first elections since 2020, when protests broke out over the results of the presidential vote and Alexander Lukashenka’s security forces conducted a brutal crackdown on Belarusian society.
February will see elections to local councils and the House of Representatives, the lower house of the Belarusian parliament.
Then a new body, the All-Belarusian People’s Assembly, will in turn be appointed by the newly elected regional and national authorities.
