Meanwhile The CEC published information according to which, after re-checking the sectional protocols from the second round of local elections on November 5, differences were found. At 60 municipal election commissions, data discrepancies were found between the protocols processed by them and after the re-processing of the same in the computing center of the CEC.
The most common reasons for the differences are unsatisfactory controls, the number of valid and invalid votes, different numbers of ballots found in the boxes – both paper and from the machines, discrepancies in the number of signatures in the voter lists, different factory numbers of the protocols and others.
