From what I can read on the Russian sites, the demonstrations went on
peacefully tonight and have ended.  The candidates have called for the same
demonstrations tomorrow night.

Looks like after counting about 22% of the votes, Lukashenko has just under
90% of the votes with the rest down in the low single digits.
