Precinct Election Commission №39

The PEC №39 in the Kabardino-Balkar Republic is an example of a completely falsified electoral commission in the North Caucasian Federal District.

What's more, there was not an ordinary paper voting protocol falsified, but the one that was to be created by the devices for electronic voting. The election results in the commission were falsified by 820 people added under the section “The number of ballots in stationary ballot boxes cast only in the premises of the polling stations”, but our observers never saw them appear in the polling station.  In total, voter turnout in the commission was overrated by 5 times!!!

Our observer, however, points out that during some time the devices for electronic voting did not work, so several voters could not vote.

Turnout falsified by 5 times! It is not acceptable even by authoritarian standards. On the other hand, that simply won’t do to let citizens know that only 200 people voted. (Franciszek)

In order to vote with the help of Electronic voting machine the voter had to receive a special chip and then push it closer to the machine. In this process, there is a special man from the commission dealing with equipment operation and helping the voters. This resulted in the lack of secrecy of the vote. However, I must note that assuming that the commission is fair, such machines greatly help to limit possible frauds, as they eliminate the possibility of multiple voting. The problem is that it does not matter if the protocol is falsified. In this case no technology will help.
