DEC No.99 cannot draw up a protocol of voting results because not all judgements have been brought to notice to the DEC. 24 claims for recognition of the voting results at certain PECs invalid are being considered in Kirovskyi Court.

Most claims were filed by a candidate for People's Deputy Serhii Horovyi (from the list of the Party of Regions). The ground for claims was that the candidate wasn't allowed to the stations after their closure — he decided to observe the process of vote counting. It is interesting that, according to the protocol of one of the PECs, Serhii Horovoi was present at the vote recount at this station as evidenced by his signature in the protocol.

Representatives of the opposition are trying to find electronic recordings of CCTV from this PEC to prove his presence.
