Power outage hits one polling station in Daugavpils, votes counted by flashlight
One polling station in Daugavpils lost electricity, forcing staff to count votes using flashlights, a representative of the Central Election Commission told LETA.
A power outage has been reported at one polling station in the city of Daugavpils, Latvia. The news agency LETA was informed of the incident by Iveta Rozenfelde, a representative of the Central Election Commission (CVK).
Due to the loss of electricity, vote counting at the affected polling station has become more difficult, with staff reportedly having to rely on flashlights to continue their work in the absence of power.
The CVK representative confirmed that the outage affected only this single polling station in Daugavpils, not the entire city or other voting locations. No further details about the cause or duration of the outage were immediately available.
Despite the lack of electricity, vote counting at the station has continued using available lighting equipment while the situation is being addressed.
