You're reading: CEC chair: Ukrainian presidential election turnout tops 60 percent

The voter turnout in the early presidential election in Ukraine was over 60 percent, said Head of the Central Election Commission (CEC) Mykhailo Okhendovsky said.

Voting data has already been obtained from 188 constituencies out of
the total 189 where the voting took place, he said at a briefing on
May 26.

“Already one can say that the turnout was over 60 percent,” Okhendovsky said.

One district election commission does not have the opportunity to give information to the Elections system, the official said.

To be precise, the voter turnout now is 60.29 percent.

The highest turnout was registered in Lviv region (78.2 percent), Ternopil region (76.63 percent), and Ivano-Frankivsk region (74.95 percent).
