The Chairman of the Election Commission of the Sverdlovsk Region, Valery Chaynikov, commented on the discrepancy between the regional turnout in the CEC and the local election commission. He linked this with the overload of the GAS system Elections.
"I can only explain this by the fact that the GAS Elections are overloaded and the information from the territorial electoral commissions reaches Moscow more slowly. The resulting figures will be the same. Now I'll deal with this, "he said..
Recall, at 10:
00 am information about the turnout diverged by 1.5%, according to 15:00, increased by 6%. Now the data is the same.
In the Sverdlovsk region from 08:00 all polling stations were opened. In the region there are 80 territorial election commissions and 2,541 precinct election commissions.
