YABLOKO demands recounting of the votes at all the electoral districts

Press Release
October 23, 2009

16 votes cast for the YABLOKO party were detected during recounting of the votes at polling station No 192.

Boris Moiseyev, member of the Moscow Electoral Commission from the YABLOKO party said that all YABLOKO’s bulletins were found in the pile of bulletins cast for the communist party. Also thee bulletins cast for LDPR and one for the Patriots of Russia were also found in that pile. According to official data, these parties also did not get a single vote at the said polling station.

YABLOKO’s leader Sergei Mitrokhin and his family voted at polling station No 192. After official data were released it turned out that allegedly not a single vote was cast for YABLOKO there. It is also interesting to note that the same type of electoral distrcit where Vladimir Putin voted (security measures did not allow for any frauds there) reported that YABLOKO obtained 18% at this polling station. Sergei Mitrokhin filed a complaint with the Moscow City Electoral Commission. The latter applied to court which annulled the results of the voting at polling station No 192 and obliged the Territorial Electoral Commission to conduct recounting of the votes.

“The first recounting demonstrated that falsifications of the results of the voting on October 11 did take place. This gives us grounds to demand total recounting of the votes in all the electoral districts, at least where the results of YABLOKO and other parties looked suspiciously low,” Sergei Mitrokhin noted.

According to Mitrokhin, YABLOKO is forwarding an appeal to Public Prosecutor General demanding to conduct Public Prosecutor’s 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 and Internet. Mitrokhin says that that corresponding measures of procuratorial response, up to applying to the courts with a claim to annul as unlawful the official results of elections, should be adopted.
