More than 3 million voters may cast their ballots in the May 11 referendum in Donetsk region, so-called Donetsk People's Republic Central Elections Commission head Roman Liahin told Interfax.
“We have 3.2 million voters and we have printed approximately the
same number of ballot papers. As of now, we have 2,224 polling stations
but we will merge some of them and have about 1,200 polling stations in
the end,” Liahin said.
A round-the-clock call center will operate during the Donbas
referendum to collect violation reports, the Central Elections
Commission head noted.
The commission has not received applications from international
observers as of yet. “We do not invite observers but we do not reject
anyone either. We are always glad to have guests and we are ready to
show the entire world that our referendum is honest and free.
International observers have not filed their applications so far,”
Liahin continued.
