MOSCOW, September 9 Head of the Central Election Commission Ella Pamfilova of the Russian Federation reported that the CEC received 213 complaints throughout Russia on the first day of voting, the bulk of which were about possible violations and shortcomings in the organization of voting, adding that this was a small number, and expressed the hope that there would be no grounds for complaints.
“On the first day of voting, the Central Election Commission received 213 requests regarding the ongoing election campaigns. The main part contains information about possible violations of election legislation and possible miscalculations and shortcomings in the organization of voting,” Pamfilova said during the briefing.
“Two hundred and thirteen appeals is not enough, but we are not intruding. I hope that there will be no reason for there to be a further large flow of any appeals,” Pamfilova added.
According to her data, most requests come from Moscow. “Mostly, the appeals were related to the unstable operation of the DEG services at the beginning, as well as failures of electronic voting terminals at polling stations,” Pamfilova noted.
