In the article under the title of "Treason was revealed" published in the number of "Yeni Musavat" newspaper dated on September 11, 2003 it was informed that as if "Senayeavtomatika" Industrial Unity prepared transparent ballot boxes. The Central Election Commission refutes this information and states that transparent boxes are not prepared in any enterprise operating in our country. Transparent boxes have been prepared in Honk Kong by the organization of IFES (International Foundation for Election Systems) and by the financial support of Germany, the USA, Netherlands and Great Britain governments.

And "Senayeavtomatika" Industrial Unity prepares not transparent ballot boxes, but voting booths in accordance with the treaty signed with the central Election Commission and such booths have already been sent to the polling stations of most constituencies.

The information reflected in the article published in the above-mentioned newspaper is not in accordance with the truth and such misinformation shall be estimated as efforts and ill-intentioned approaches to obstacle the works done in the direction of conducting fair, transparent and democratic elections.

The Central Election Commission calls citizens to be vigilant, not to believe in such misinformation and ensures the voters that it will take all legal measures for the conduct of free, fair and democratic elections after this, too.
