Ukrainian people's deputies have complained about the voting button one and a half thousand times over four years
Over the four incomplete years of the work of the Verkhovna Rada of the eighth convocation, 303 people’s deputies complained 1471 times about the operation of the voting buttons and asked to change the results of their votes, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The Committee of Voters of Ukraine reports this, citing the response received to the request.
Most often – 69 times – Yuriy Solod, a member of the Opposition Bloc faction, made such complaints. This question was addressed 61 times by Vyacheslav Boguslaev (Will of the People), 52 – by Natalya Korolevskaya (Opposition Bloc), 51 – by Alexander Tretyakov (Petro Poroshenko Bloc), 40 – by Andrey Shipko (Vidrodzhennia), 38 – by Oksana Korchinskaya (Radical Party), 30 – Alexander Dubinin (non-factional), 29 – Artem Vitko (Radical Party).
The last time deputies complained about the operation of the voting button was when the law on the Anti-Corruption Court was adopted on June 7. And after voting for the law on the restructuring of foreign currency loans (July 2015), 20 parliamentarians filed applications to change the results.
As the Verkhovna Rada office noted, in all 1471 cases, specialists carefully checked the Rada system consoles at the people’s deputies’ workplaces, but did not find any malfunctions.
The KIU states that deputies often complain to whiten their reputations, trying to pass off their conscious vote as a failure of the system, but there are also cases of simple inattention.
On June 8, 2018, a draft law was registered in the Rada, which proposes to introduce criminal liability for people’s deputies for non-personal voting.
