Volgograd branch of Yabloko demands to annul election results at the polling station where the party gained one vote
Press release, 20.09.2018
According to the official results, only one person voted for Yabloko at the polling station No 1170 in the Volgograd Region. However, seven people have already appealed to Yabloko claiming that they voted for the party at this polling station. Chair of the regional party branch Galina Boldyreva appealed to court demanding that it should annul the election results and recount votes.
Boldyreva refers to point B paragraphs 1,2 Article 77 of the law on the electoral rights. In accordance with the law, the violations which took place during voting prevent us from defining the will of voters and give grounds for annulling the results.
Chair of the Volgograd branch of Yabloko believes that “there is hope that the results will be annulled because voters are outraged as their votes were not taken into account. Nothing will change as long as people who are dependent on the government work in the electoral commissions. The administrative resources is impudent but we can stand up to it”.
