You're reading: Election commission receives first voting results from district election commission No. 59 in Donetsk region

District Election Commission No. 59 (Maryinka, Donetsk region) managed to transfer the Oct. 26 election results only from six out of 19 precinct election commissions into the Ukrainian Central Election Commission's (CEC) electronic system last night.

As of 9:00 a.m. on Nov. 7, Ukraine’s electronic vote counting system had no voting results from 12 precinct election commissions in the country’s multi-member electoral constituency, and 13 single-member election constituencies, the CEC said.

District Election Commission No. 59 remains the only commission that has not yet counted all the ballots and has not transferred the election results received in its districts to the electronic vote counting system, making it impossible for the CEC to announce the preliminary results of the Oct. 26 snap parliamentary elections held based on party lists.

A preliminary tally of 99.95 percent of the ballots indicates that the People’s Front will control 64 seats in the Verkhovna Rada, Petro Poroshenko’s Bloc 63, Samopomich Union 32, the Opposition Bloc 27, Oleh Liashko’s Radical Party 22, and Batkivschyna 17.

Ukraine’s CEC has already received election protocols from 197 district election commissions and has confirmed the election of 129 parliamentarians to the Verkhovna Rada. The CEC lacks only the protocol of District Election Commission No. 59.

The CEC has until Nov. 10 to announce the results of the October 26 polls officially.
