BELARUS-VOTE

This picture taken through a window shows woman filling out a document as she prepares to vote at her home during voting in the village of Svidno, some 35 km from Minsk, on September 23, 2012. The ex-Soviet state holds parliamentary elections, two years after a presidential poll ended in the beating and arrest of hundreds of protesters who had accused President Alexander Lukashenko of vote rigging.
