KRUSHYNKA – The election process monitoring system has been launched in Ukraine, Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has said.

“The system of monitoring and registration of violations during
elections has been created and was launched as of today,” the president
told journalists in Krushynka (Kyiv region) on Wednesday.

According to him, law enforcers and local governments work with the system.

“They will respond immediately to any infringement on the law on
elections or any administrative violation during the election process,”
he said.

Yanukovych also said several similar monitoring centers for international observers and diplomats will be created soon.

“Several such centers will be created for the elections, particularly
for international observers. The Foreign Ministry will also participate
[in the monitoring],” the president said.

According to the head of state, the current election process does not
differ much from the previous election campaigns in the country, and
the Central Election Commission and courts quickly respond to registered
violations.

“Today the pre-election process is absolutely the same as the
previous elections in our country. There are many emotions. There is a
human factor, and the system reacts immediately to violations,” he said.

The parliamentary elections will be held in Ukraine on October 28, 2012.
