Polling stations opened their doors for presidential elections on Sunday in Belarus.

Footage shows voters heading to a polling station in the capital Minsk.

The incumbent president Alexander Lukashenko is seeking a sixth term in office.

Four other candidates are also running for the presidency: wife of opposition blogger Sergei Tikhanovsky Svetlana, former deputy Anna Kanopatskaya, leader of the “Tell the Truth” civil campaign Andrei Dmitriev and head of the Belarusian Social Democratic Assembly (Hramada) party Sergei Cherachen.

Two other candidates Viktor Babaryko and Valery Tsepkalo were denied registration because of the ‘inconsistencies in income statements’.

Earlier in June, opposition candidate Viktor Babaryko was arrested on tax evasion and money laundering allegations.
