When the Central Election Commission (CEC) announced, there was a suspicion that one member of the commission might be drunk in the electoral area of B. Sruoga in the city of Vilnius.
Police officers were called, and determined that the member had a blood alcohol level of 0.15 per thousand.
The representative of the police department, Ramūnas Matonis, told Eltai that the report was received at 8:07 am, and the election observer called the police.
“That member of the commission was immediately suspended from her job. There are enough members of the commission in the constituency, the commission continues with its work,” the CEC report reads.
According to R. Matonis, a protocol was not designed for a lazy member of the commission, because a person can be punished for appearing drunk in a public place, when he brazenly grabs people another, cursing with obscene words, etc.
“The employer must make a decision about the members of the commission,” said a police representative to Elta.
According to R. Matonis, elections proceeding smoothly, no violations recorded.

In Radviliškis district, the door of the ward in Daugelaičiai town was also opened. The chairman of the electoral commission explained that he did not lock the door because the lock was broken. Reports of unlocked polling station doors were also received from Naujos Akmenė district and Telšiai, Gedrimi village. It has been checked, there is no damage, there are no signs of breakage,” R. Matonis told Elta.
