ABSTRACT
Constitutional law forms positive legal aspect of constitutionalism. Election law is often
seen as a sub-branch of the constitutional law and, at the same time, embodies (to a different
degree) ideas of democracy. Correlation between democracy and constitutionalism is one
of the most debating questions in contemporary legal science. It seems worth examining
how this controversy exerts influence on the system of sources of election law as a part
of a bigger system of constitutional law in the case of the Republic of Belarus.
