CVU: New election needed in 7-8 constituencies

19.11.2012    source: ukrainian.voanews.com
The Committee of Voters of Ukraine speaks of deliberate procrastination and infringements during the vote count stage at election commission level and there must be new elections where this distorted the will of the voters

  Two weeks were needed for the Central Election Commission to announce the official results of the 28 October parliamentary elections. The process was noticeably protracted in around 10 single-mandate electoral districts where there were influential candidates.  The Committee of Voters of Ukraine [CVU] believes that new elections are needed in that situation.

According to CVU Head, Oleksandr Chernenko, “There were overall more than 20 problematic electoral districts where the vote-count was deliberately drawn out and where flagrant violations were seen not so much at polling stations, as at the district election commissions”.

CVU observers consider that “the results at 7-8 election districts were falsified”. It is at these ones that Mr Chernenko says a new election is needed, since there were infringements at others, but they did not distort the outcome.

As reported, thus far the CEC has only acknowledged the need for a new election at 5 districts: 94 in the Kyiv oblast; 132 in Mykolaiv oblast; 194 and 197 in the Chernihiv oblast and 223 in the Shevchenkivsk district of Kyiv.

CVU experts say that at present there is no legal basis for the re-vote, with it not clear, for example, who appoints the elections.  Mr Chernenko says that either a new law is needed or amendments to the current one.

The elections have been widely criticised as not having met democratic standards.
