Over 40 per cent of votes were stolen from the YABLOKO party in Saratov

Press Release

December 21, 2011

The Saratov branch of YABLOKO stated mass-scale fraud at elections to the State Duma in the region. Comparison of the data from the protocols given to observers at local electoral commissions with the data published by the Central Electoral Commission demonstrated a discrepancy amounting to thousands votes. Votes given for different parties were ascribed to the ruling United Russia party.

Thus 6,433 votes were added to United Russia at 23 Saratov polling stations, which raised the result of the ruling party by 41.62 per cent. These votes were stolen from other parties: YABLOKO lost 574 votes (i.e. 41.02 per cent of its vote).

For example, 110 votes were stolen from YABLOKO at polling station 128: the Central Electoral Commission web-site indicated that only 12 votes were given for YABLOKO instead of 122 votes as of the protocol. The same polling station also demonstrated that the CPRF lost 189 votes (369 as of the protocol versus 180 as of the Central Electoral Commission data), Just Russia was deprived of 150 votes (302 versus 152), Patriots of Russia lost 20 votes (23 versus 3) and 10 votes disappeared from the Right Cause (13 versus 3). The total of the stolen 479 votes were added to the ruling United Russia raising the result of the latter from 730 to 1,209 votes.

Polling station No 300 doubled United Russias result from 856 to 1670 votes depriving YABLOKO of 45 votes (101 versus 56).

Large discrepancies between the Central Electoral Commission data and observers protocols were also detected at polling stations Nos 135, 139, 154, 176, 184, 190, 191, 214, 225, 229, 230, 240, 242, 252, 260, 261, 279, 295, 301, 311, 312.

YABLOKO continues receiving complaints and evidence of fraud. All this is important for the litigation.

Last week YABLOKO submitted the first eight suits to eight Moscow courts demanding to cancel the results of the voting at eight polling stations.
