They even checked the handwriting of voters’ signatures

The Supreme Election Commission (CEC) announces that it has completed the verification of signatures collected by voters who are running for President of the Republic. All 8 persons currently seeking the post of President have collected the necessary number of signatures of voters supporting their participation in the elections. The election of the President of the Republic will be held on May 12.
A total of 11 candidates collected voter signatures. Gintautas Kniukšta and Arūnas Rimkus did not collect the set number of 20,000 signatures and could no longer continue participating in the elections. Aurelijus Veryga collected the signatures, but submitted a request to withdraw the declaration documents and withdrew from further participation in the elections.
The CEC verified the signatures of the remaining 8 candidates.
Initially, all voter signature collection sheets delivered to the CEC were scanned. Based on the received information, the Lithuanian population register was checked to see if the signatories exist, have the right to vote, have Lithuanian citizenship, have reached the appropriate age, have not signed twice or more, etc.
The next stage of checking the signature sheets is a visual check of the records. During it, members of the CEC examined each entry on all paper sheets, checked whether all fields on the signature sheets were filled in, whether there was a signature, and whether there were any suspicions that several entries were filled in by the same person.
After this visual inspection, at the suggestion of CEC members last week, the signature collection sheets submitted by Andriaus Mazuronis and Remigijaus Žemaitaitis were handed over to the Lithuanian Forensic Expertise Center so that the handwriting experts working in this institution can check and submit conclusions.
The handwriting examination showed that not all data was filled in and signed by the voters signing the voter signature sheet. There were cases where it was possible to determine from the handwriting pattern that there were two or more entries made by one and the same person, as well as fixed entries where individual fragments of data filled in by one voter were written in different handwriting.
At the end of the verification, voter signature verification acts were drawn up and the final number of collected signatures was determined.
