Chairman of the Central Election Commission of Russia Ella Pamfilova said that during the three-day voting, 41 cases of damaged ballots were recorded. The majority of spoiled ballots in the Russian presidential elections were in countries with the highest concentration of relocants.
“We saw a large percentage of invalid ballots, for example in Poland, where the number of invalid ballots reached up to a third of the total. That is, we analyzed the situation where there was the greatest concentration of relocants… there were the most spoiled ballots,” said the head of the CEC (quoted from TASS).
Speaking about cases of damage to ballots, Ella Pamfilova reported that 30 ballot boxes were doused with green paint. As a result, 36 ballots were spoiled. She added that the CEC recorded 459 complaints about real violations during the elections. In total, the CEC received 14 thousand appeals, more than half of which were organized by a “network of falsifiers from abroad.” The campaign was “very clean,” says the head of the Central Election Commission.
During the last elections, at polling stations in several regions of Russia, there were cases of infusions of brilliant green, iodine and other coloring substances into ballot boxes. In addition, in several polling stations, people threw Molotov cocktails, exploded firecrackers and set tablecloths on fire.
The presidential elections took place from March 15 to 17. Today, March 21, Ella Pamfilova announced official results of the Russian presidential elections. 76,277,708 people voted for Vladimir Putin (self-nominated), his final result was 87.28%. 4.31% of ballots were cast for Nikolai Kharitonov (Communist Party of the Russian Federation), 3.85% for Vladislav Davankov (“New People”), and 3.20% for Leonid Slutsky (LDPR). The final turnout for the elections was a record 77.49%.
