As it became known to OPORA, Head of PEC No.071070 (Lutsk Geriatric Home) didn't give copies of the protocols to the observers present having violated the law.
In this regard, district election commission of the ED No.22 (Lutsk) decided to return this PEC to the station so that it would give copies of the protocols to all the observers and take a formal note of their issue.
Moreover, the commission delegation that arrived with the protocols consisted of 3 persons — Head, Deputy Head, and a commission member. Although, according to the law, there should have been four of them.
