Central Election Commission Chairman Mikhail Okhendovsky does not rule out that due to the situation with district election commission No. 59 the CEC will not be able to establish the official results of the Oct. 29 early parliamentary elections on party lists within the prescribed period of time – by Nov. 10.
Okhendovsky said this at a meeting with the OSCE/ODIHR delegation headed by deputy head of the observation mission for the Oct. 26 parliamentary elections in Ukraine Stefan Krause, the CEC press service reported.
“Until district election commission [No. 59] draws up a protocol on the voting results in a national multi-member constituency within the district, the CEC cannot establish the election results across the country,” the Central Election Commission head said.
As reported, district election commission No. 59 is the only one out of a total of 198 district commission, which has not yet established the results of the voting in its district and hasn’t entered data on voting results from its precinct commissions into the Elections information and analytical system, which prevents the CEC from announcing the preliminary results of the early parliamentary elections on party lists.
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.
