Statement on election violations and concluded complaints

On the election day, the observation mission "My Vote" monitors observed 1131 polling precincts continuously and hundreds of polling precincts through a mobile group.

The observation mission completed a final and comprehensive analysis of the information received from the areas under observation. As a result, it was determined that, out of 1131 districts under observation:


• The observer was hindered from observing - at 160 polling precincts;

• Inking was not checked - at 191 polling precincts;

• Inking was not applied - at 153 polling precincts;

• Secrecy of voting was violated - in 365 precincts;

• Physical confrontation/violence/pressure was recorded - in 85 precincts;

• Unauthorized persons were present at the precinct or near the precinct - 259 polling precincts.


In addition, based on the data analysis, we have identified 196 precincts (i.e. 17% of the precincts under our observation), where the violations took place in a repeated, continuous, and in some cases systemic manner.


In addition, the observation mission notes that the observers could not observe many problematic precincts throughout the day, as the election administration and the unauthorized persons mobilized in the precinct expelled them illegally by force.

The monitoring coalition "My Vote" submitted complaints in 29 election districts demanding the annulment of the results of 246 election precincts, where the sum of registered voters is 417,305 citizens. Yesterday, district election commissions satisfied none of the complaints submitted for the invalidation of precincts. The observation mission will appeal the decisions of the district election commissions in the courts.
