Press Release

December 5, 2011

Local electoral commission had to recognize YABLOKOs victory at Moscow polling station No 1707 where YABLOKO won with 25.38 per cent.

Throughout the night observers and YABLOKOs candidates opposed members of the electoral commission who did not want to sign the final protocol.

According to the protocol (which was hanged on the wall of the polling station) YABLOKO obtained 235 votes (25.38 per cent), followed by the CPRF with 217 votes (23.65 per cent) and the ruling United Russia came third with 192 votes (20.73 per cent). However, members of the electoral commission refused to sign such protocol as final (the observers had to get the copies of this protocol).

YABLOKOs observer asked YABLOKO leader Sergei Mitrokhin to come to this polling station so that to help to solve the conflict with the electoral commission. Mitrokhin made the territorial commission to create a working group so that to restore the real results of the voting.

By morning the electoral commission agreed to recognise the results of the voting and input these data into the final protocol and the GAS-Vibory electronic system of counting of the votes.
