Khazbiev: someone voted for my family on election day in Ingushetia

In the voting day in Nazran, on October 11, Magomed Khazbiev, leader of Ingush opposition, detected and registered the facts evidencing that some other person cast votes instead of his family members. According to his story, similar situations could be observed in many settlements of Ingushetia.

"On October 11, at about 3 p.m., the editor of my website "Ingushetia.Org" came to my place; and we decided to go to the polling station and make some photos," Mr Khazbiev told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

According to his story, none of his family was going to vote - they were all at home.

"We went to the Philharmonic Society (where a polling station was organized, - note of the editor); it was same empty there - nobody in the yard or inside the station. I found the table with the letter of my surname and said: "I'm Khazbiev." The woman found surnames starting with "Kh", turned two sheets over and said: "Oh! Your people have already been here today!" he said.

Magomed Khazbiev has added that in his family 10 persons have the right to vote; and he saw in the voters' list that all his family, except for him and his father, had already voted. "And none of them had come there yet! Mother was not event at home the, and the sister, for whom someone had signed the list - she lives in a different location at all," he told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

According to Khazbiev, similar cases, when other people voted for residents of the republic, happened in the city of Magas. And in Malgobek, said the oppositionist, securities themselves filled in ballot papers and dropped them into boxes.
