October 22, 2009

The Khamovniki District Moscow Court annulled the decision of the electoral commission of polling station No 192 in Moscow on the results of the voting and obliged the Territorial Electoral Commission of the Khamovniki District to recount the votes.

YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin and his family cast their votes for the YABLOKO party at the said polling station, however, according to the protocol of the electoral commission not a single vote was given for the party at the polling station. Sergei Mitrokhin who participated in the trial earlier today, expressed his hope that “such decisions will be adopted regarding all the polling stations where discrepancies between the official protocols and the protocols handed to observes were found, as well as regarding those polling stations where final protocols were drawn with multiple violations”.

Mitrokhin also reiterated that according to YABLOKO’s data only, considerable discrepancies between protocols received by observer sand official results of the voting published at the web-site of the Moscow Electoral Commission were found at 18 polling stations in Moscow. Another 225 polling stations drew their protocols with grave violations of the election law. Mitrokhin also added that “we are aware that other parties also possess data on multiple violations.”

Recalculation of the votes at polling station No 192 will take place tomorrow on October 23 at 10 a.m. at the Territorial Electoral Commission office (address Prechistenka 14, office 7a).

The YABLOKO party also demanded from the Office of the Public Prosecutor General of the RF to conduct a complex inspection of the complaints of the actions (or negligence) of election commissions in all the Russian Federation subjects, as well as all the evidence of fraud published in the mass media. We assume, that corresponding measures of procuratorial response should be adopted, up to applying to the courts with a claim to annul as unlawful the official results of elections of deputies of the Moscow City Duma, Mayors of Astrakhan and Derbent, and other bodies and officials elected on October 11, 2009, with violations of franchise
