Latvian election officials are preparing for parliamentary elections this fall while considering potential air threats. The Central Election Commission (CVK) is requesting local governments to identify and provide information regarding shelter options within municipal buildings, which will largely serve as polling stations. This proactive measure aims to ensure voter safety should airspace security issues arise during the election period. The request focuses on assessing the availability of shelters at existing polling locations. No specific threats have been publicly disclosed, but the move indicates a heightened awareness of regional security. Local governments are currently compiling the requested information for the CVK. The elections are scheduled to take place later this year, and officials are working to maintain a secure and accessible voting process.
