Telegram users support call to stop violations in Kuban elections

Candidate Alexander Safronov, in a video address to the head of the Central Election Commission and the deputy head of the presidential administration, voiced information about violations at polling stations in the Krasnodar Territory and called for preventing the falsification of election results. Authors of comments in Telegram supported his call.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, gubernatorial and municipal elections are being held in Kuban from September 12 to 14. After the start of voting, candidates reported ballot stuffing and falsifications during home voting. Observers also reported ballot stuffing and complained about conflicts with members of election commissions.

A video address to the Chairperson of the Central Election Commission Ella Pamfilova and the First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Sergei Kiriyenko was published today in his Telegram channel by Krasnodar City Duma Deputy Alexander Safronov, who is participating in the gubernatorial elections.

In his video address, Safronov explained that he was addressing Pamfilova "as the head of the entire electoral vertical of the country", and Kiriyenko - as "the person who is responsible for domestic policy in the presidential administration".

It turns out that the turnout is many times higher than the number of voters' signatures

According to Safronova, in Krasnodar Krai "the electoral process is being falsified." "How is this expressed? In precinct election commissions, the turnout is inflated to a high level, which does not correspond to the actual course of voting. Moreover, in violation of the law, not only observers, but even the members of the commissions themselves, who are trying to prevent falsification, and even members of higher territorial election commissions, are refused access to the lists of voters. In those precincts where this happens, it turns out that the turnout is many times higher than the number of signatures of voters in the books of voters," he said.

Alexander Safronov gave an example of such a violation. "At polling station 09-04, when a member of the territorial election commission arrived, they opened the books and it turned out that based on the results of the first day of voting, the commission had registered over 800 issued ballots, and there were many times fewer signatures in the voters' books. This is not the only case, there are many such cases: where they allow you to read them, the difference is several times. I ask you to intervene in the situation and stop the falsifiers of the electoral process," the candidate said.

Under this video address, published at 11:13 Moscow time, by 12:22 Moscow time, 13 comments were posted. Their authors supported the address and considered it necessary to also contact the investigative bodies.

"I will sign under every word. Faith in the elections will finally be flushed down the drain," noted Vladimir Kutafin Gelendzhik. "We need to contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Investigative Committee," wrote lesy. "We need to contact the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Investigative Committee 100%!" shared his opinion Vasily.

Bastrykin's intervention is necessary

"As always, they won't find anything illegal," commented on Safronov's appeal a user with the nickname 1984. "Investigative Committee, why are you allowing unfair elections in Krasnodar? [Investigative Committee Chairman Alexander] Bastrykin's intervention is needed," said Elena Chernoyvan.

"Yeah. The third day. And nothing but violations! A real mess! And that's probably not all the violations that have been identified! Perhaps we need to quickly, right now, submit to the CEC's public reception office online, if one still exists, and attach registered scanned applications there - about the violations identified in the city and region," wrote Demos.

We should not ask, but demand that ballot stuffing be stopped

"Having been born in the USSR, having lived my life until the age of 59, with the status of a working pensioner, I agreed to help - to observe the course of voting at the precinct election commission in Krasnodar. My feelings on the third day of the elections - I am severely disappointed in these elections, trust has been completely zeroed out, they spat on us and no one can help," complained Olga Vladimirovna.

"I support the open appeal of A. Safronov and I think that we should not ask, but demand the suppression of stuffing and the corresponding investigations!" - Irina G indicated in the comment.
