In Moscow, the police detained Ilya Myakinin, a candidate for municipal deputies from Yabloko, at polling station No. 59 in the Meshchansky district. The chairwoman of the commission, Yelena Zaitseva, accused the Yabloko candidate that he had allegedly been demanding that voters show him their passports. Myakinin was taken to the district police station.
According to the team of candidates from Yabloko, the authorities were preparing same “carousel” (when same voters vote several times) in the Meshchansky district as in the Yakimanka distrcit: members of precinct commissions were ready to issue ballots to voters were not registered in the district (thus were not entitled to vote there) but had special marks in their passports. Candidate Ilya Myakinin stood at the table of the chairwoman of the commission and watched the issuance of ballots. He did not ask voters to show their passports to him.

Photo: Voting at the clothing market instead of voting at home in Novorzhev, Pskov region / Photo from social networks
In the regions where Yabloko participates in the elections, our observers record violations.
A provocation against Yabloko was carried out in the Pskov region. A local news agency reported that the party was allegedly engaged in buying votes in elections in Pskov. As a “confirmation” the news agency was presented a screenshot of the correspondence of two unidentified persons. The Pskov branch of Yabloko does not have a candidate with the surname that appears in the screenshot. Interestingly, it is similar to the name of a candidate for the Pskov City Duma nominated by the New People party. Lev Shlosberg, Chairman of the Pskov Yabloko, will send a statement to the police with a request that the media should provide the evidence of what was published and attach them to the materials of the check, which was previously launched on the basis of the statement of a Yabloko campaigner, whom a representative of the New People party attempted to bribe.
In Novorzhev, voters voted at the clothing market. It happened during “voting at home”. Another “voting at home” took place in the bookstore.
