On November 12, 2024, Vitebsk State Medical University held a grand opening of the VSMU Voter Center.

The event was attended by the Rector Alexey Chukanov, the representatives of the university administration, the staff and students.

Aleksey Nikolaevich presented the symbolic key to the Center to the Vice-Rector for Ideological and Educational Work Dmitry Kuzhel and the Chairperson of the Student Council Polina Denisenok.

The VSMU Voter Center is an information and consulting center on election campaign issues, created to familiarize students and staff with the regulatory framework of the upcoming elections, as well as to practically familiarize young voters with the voting process.

As the Rector Alexey Chukanov noted during the event:

"The opening of the VSMU Voter Center is a landmark event for our university, which, among other things, will help prepare our first-time voting students for an important and responsible event - participation in elections.

The opening of the Center will be a good help in forming the knowledge and correct skills that young voters need. The guys will be able to see how a polling station is set up, get acquainted with the procedure for preparing and conducting an election campaign, and ask questions that interest them. All this will help our students not to get confused on election day, because the guys will already understand the algorithm of actions at the polling station.

This Center will undoubtedly serve to increase the electoral activity of students."
