Very good infrastructure was created at polling stations at the presidential election in Azerbaijan, Romans Naudiņs, chairman of the parliamentary committee on economic affairs of the Latvian parliament, told Trend April 11.

"The poling stations have modern equipment,” he said. “I was impressed by the number of webcams on each of the polling stations, which creates great opportunities for monitoring the election both in Brussels and Washington, that is, in any part of the world."

Naudiņs assessed the situation at the election in Azerbaijan as positive.

"It is also very important that people, who can not come to the polling stations, namely, elderly and disabled people, are able to vote at home,” he said. "We visited a number of polling stations in the Nizami district, no violations were observed."
