The DEC #223 started recounting votes in eleven polling stations yesterday. The biggest part of ballots in support of Yurii Levchenko nominated by the Svoboda party were invalid

288 ballots in support of Yurii Levchenko turned out to be invalid in one of the polling stations. There were additional marks made by the different ink. Such violations were noticed yesterday during the recalculation on a polling station.

The District commission has conducted the recalculation regardless of the Central Election Commission's resolution. The CEC has passed a resolution in which it acknowledged the impossibility of determining reliable election results in some districts, including this one. Besides that, it took a decision to suspend recalculation in both nationwide and single-member districts.
