At a meeting with participants from the Central Election Commission, activists from the Nooken and Bazar-Korgon districts, as well as the city of Mailuu-Suu, law enforcement agencies, and candidates, the condition of ramps at polling stations in district No. 13, where repeat elections will take place, was discussed.

In total, there are 94 polling stations in the district, of which 90 have ramps installed. However, most of them do not meet the established requirements. The presidential representative in the region, Tilek Tekebayev, emphasized the importance of bringing these ramps into proper condition. "Voting will take place on March 1, and local authorities must create equal conditions for all voters. The issue of ramp conditions is becoming relevant, as many of them do not meet sanitary and construction standards," he noted.

Some ramps have too steep an angle, making it difficult for wheelchair users to move, and in some places, there are no special signaling devices to call for assistance. "All leaders have received the appropriate instructions, and monitoring of the implementation of these assignments will be conducted," Tekebayev added.

Of the 94 stations, 77 are located in school buildings, 7 in municipal institutions, 6 in cultural houses, 3 in sports halls, and 1 in a kindergarten. There are 904 registered voters with disabilities in the district.
