In some polling stations at once, voters headed to the exit but not to the ballot box after leaving the ballot booth.
In particular, there were two incidents in PECs #590992 and 590993, located in School #22. In the PEC #590992, observers have stopped a young man, who passed the ballot boxes. He explained that has lost because of heat and crowded place. After that explanation, he threw his ballots in ballot box.
Similar incidents were reported in polling stations #590976, 590888, 590889, and 590986. Every time, the situation was solved without involvement of law-enforcement officers.
