The second round of local elections is being held today in seven Ukrainian cities. Observers have already recorded violations of the electoral process.
According to the press service of the public organization “Opora”, the observer of this structure was not allowed to the morning meeting of the precinct election commission in Lutsk.
Also, in Lutsk, individual precinct election commissions did not keep minutes of the morning meeting after the start of the morning sessions.
At a polling station in the village of Zhidichin, one member of the commission checked documents and handed out ballots to voters.
At polling station No. 320772 in the city of Ukrainka, the commission began the first meeting ahead of time. In the same city, a member of the CEC was noticed filling out ballots in advance, and the secretary of the commission began filling out the protocol on the counting of votes, without waiting for the completion of the voting.
There are not enough ballot boxes at polling stations in Kamenets-Podolsk. Thus, the commission members decided not to use the fourth obligatory ballot box at polling station No. 681336 due to damage, so they sealed it with tape, turned it over and set it aside.
The second round of elections is taking place in Odessa, Kherson, Lutsk, Sumy, Ukrainka, Kramatorsk and Kamenets-Podolsk.
