Bagiryan also drew attention to the importance of the violation not being “swept under the carpet”.
“It is very important that the organizers of the election do not ‘sweep under the carpet’ the violations, but rather recognize the incident and take appropriate action. Existing observers also drew attention to the situation, which in our opinion is a positive moment in history: it is necessary to immediately respond to all signals of a problematic nature, to record and interpret them from an objective point of view. , according to the norms of current legislation, ”said the expert.
He stressed that for some who participated in the elections, the violations were an attempt to focus on political overtones.
“There are reports that the results were deliberately canceled in favor of one of the candidates. In our opinion, such statements are unfounded because the decision was made in accordance with the law.”
Previously, St. Members of PEC 1213 of Krasnoe Selo, St. Petersburg, acknowledging violations committed during the exit vote, canceled the voting results at the polling station. TEC No. 26 then evaluated this situation and with a similar decision annulled the results.
