At PEC #210790 in Khust city commission members forgot to insert the control coupon to the portable ballot box for voting at the place of stay before leaving the station. All the necessary data was filled in the coupon.

After the representatives of OPORA asked for the explanation why the control coupon was not inserted into the ballot box, one of the commission members said that they did not know that is was a violation. Afterwards they consulted with the Law of Ukraine on Election of the President of Ukraine and admitted that they made a mistake and dropped the coupon into the box.
