According to Sergei Fedko, coordinator of Opora's election programs in the region, district election commission No. 37 received 20 thousand ballots that contain errors - confusion in the numbers of polling stations, so some of the district's polling stations are now not provided with ballots, reports «Radio Svoboda».
“Ballots with errors should be sent to the CEC. Part of the commission insisted on canceling these ballots on the spot, but, according to the law, only the polling station can cancel them after the votes are counted. Cancellation of OIC is not provided for by law. The invalid ballots from the OEC have not gone anywhere, the room is sealed. The CEC must now provide the DEC with error-free ballots. But it is clear that all this will happen with a delay. As for other districts, we have not heard of such a problem,” Fedko said.
The leadership of District Election Commission No. 37 refused to comment on the situation, noting only that they were waiting for the decision of the Central Election Commission.
As PolitNavigator reported, today elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine are being held using a mixed system: half of the deputies will be elected from party lists, half from majoritarian constituencies.
