On Friday 1 November, at two am, the district commission of the electoral district No.21 adopted the protocol of vote counting on the district.
So in the electoral district No.21, the winner is a self-nominated candidate Stepan Ivakhiv, who got 37,142 votes. The second is the candidate of the United Opposition Fatherland Ihor Huz, who got 36,306 votes.
By the way, the DEC hasn't considered any of the latest four complaints of Huz claiming that the complainant had no evidence. According to OPORA observation, Kovel District Commission didn't even inform the complainers or interested parties of the complaint on the period of consideration of claims. This is failure to comply with Section 9, Article 11 of the Law On Election of People's Deputies of Ukraine.
The DEC has played for time when considering claims.
From a strategic perspective public monitoring of elections focuses upon improving the system and certain procedures.
