LTV puts Progresīvie in focus ahead of parliamentary election

Latvia’s public broadcaster LTV is examining the Progresīvie party in the latest instalment of its “Party in focus” programme series, LSM reported. The series is intended to help voters make informed choices in the 15th Saeima election.

The programme features political forces that had reached at least 2% support in SKDS public opinion research at the beginning of August. Each episode invites the leaders of the five electoral district lists, ranked first, second or third.

The programme also includes an analytical report on the party’s actual performance over the past four years, if applicable, and presents voters’ views of the party.

The series examines whether pre-election promises are merely a way to attract voters’ attention or a genuine basis for holding politicians accountable. Further information about Progresīvie, its candidates, election programme and positions on issues important to society is available in LSM’s election section.

The 15th Saeima election will take place on Saturday, October 3. Polling stations will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and voters may cast their ballots at any polling station.

Fourteen candidate lists have been submitted for the election. From September 28 until election day, voters may submit their ballots for safekeeping at any polling station in Latvia during designated hours.

The newly elected 15th Saeima will convene for its first sitting on November 3, when the mandate of the 14th Saeima will end.
