DW News published this video item, entitled “Belarus protests continue after Lukashenko’s secret inauguration | DW News” – below is their description.
Large crowds are expected to turn out in Belarus for the seventh consecutive Sunday of protests against authoritarian leader Alexander Lukashenko. On Saturday, police in the capital Minsk made dozens of arrests at a women’s’ march denouncing his re-election in a vote that many say was rigged. Lukashenko’s attempts to crackdown on protests has done little to dent protesters’ resolve. Despite the disputed election, Lukashenko was inaugurated with no previous notice or media present. The opposition is set to symbolically inaugurate Svetlana Tsikhanovskaya in response.

Voting is a method for a group, such as a meeting or an electorate, in order to make a collective decision or express an opinion usually following discussions, debates or election campaigns. Democracies elect holders of high office by voting. Residents of a place represented by an elected official are called “constituents”, and those constituents who cast a ballot for their chosen candidate are called “voters”. There are different systems for collecting votes, but while many of the systems used in decision-making can also be used as electoral systems, any which cater for proportional representation can only be used in elections.
In smaller organizations, voting can occur in different ways. Formally via ballot to elect others for example within a workplace, to elect members of political associations or to choose roles for others. Informally voting could occur as a spoken agreement or as a verbal gesture like a raised hand or electronically.
