Electoral Commission steals votes of YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin and his family

Press Release
October 16, 2009

The protocol of voting of local electoral commission No 192 of Khamovniki district, Moscow, showed that the electorate did not give a single vote for YABLOKO at the polling station where Sergei Mitrokhin and his family voted. Moreover, the commission reported on the absence of any invalid or spoilt bulletins.


The electoral commission of the polling station gave the breakdown of the total of 1,020 bulletins as follows: United Russia obtained 904 votes, CPRF – 87 votes and Just Russia – 29 votes. In accordance with the protocol, LDPR, Patriots of Russia and YABLOKO did not get a single vote (see a scanned copy of the protocol at our web-site). These data were also registered at the Moscow Electoral Commission web-site.


The signed copy of the protocol which was made available to YABLOKO was printed specially for electronic polling boxes, however, Sergei Mitrokhin and his family put their ballots into a wooden box (see the photograph at our web-site).


“Maybe the heads of this electoral commission intend to show that I do not exist either as a voter or as a citizen,” Sergei Mitrokhin commented on the situation. “I have to disappoint them, YABLOKO does exist and moreover is able to turn to the law-enforcement bodies for punishment of the criminals faking the elections,” he said.


Sergei Mitrokhin also noted that YABLOKO received 18% at the polling station where Prime Minister Vladimir Putin voted. “Naturally, no one dared to falsify anything there, however, these two Moscow districts hardly differ as of the structure of their electorate,” Mitrokhin added.
