Democrats Need to Enlist Support of Undecided Voters

By Aleh Manayew
Even if different opposition forces finally get united for parliamentary elections this fall, their aggregate electorate will account for just one fifth of the voters who intend to turn up at the polls. In such situation, there could be two ways to expand the electoral support of democratic forces. Firstly, the opposition should try to win those voters who are ready to cast their votes for independent candidates. Secondly, and more importantly, they should enlist the support of those voters who are not going to vote or have not yet decided whether they will vote or not.
The closer the elections for the House of Representatives of the National Assembly, preliminarily scheduled for October 17, 2004, the clearer the electoral landscape that will determine the outcome of efforts taken by main political players.
