Elections in Belarus are neither free nor fair. Opposition figures are regularly jailed or barred from running. Freedoms of speech and association are severely curtailed. The media is highly regulated and censorship is widespread. https://www.dw.com/en/belarus-2024-elections-will-not-be-free-and-fair/a-68356203 https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/11/5/osce-condemns-belarus-massive-abuses-calls-for-new-elections https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/25/world/europe/belarus-election.html https://apnews.com/article/belarus-lukashenko-election-b32e1a653d058be987adfee47a136a3c https://www.idea.int/news/statement-upcoming-elections-parliament-and-local-councils-belarus https://www.theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article/belarus-first-elections-since-2020-crackdown https://freedomhouse.org/country/belarus https://news.un.org/en/story/2015/10/512522
