The chairman of the Central Election Commission of the Russian Federation Vladimir Churov will check the polling stations of the Astrakhan region and will check the counting of votes in one of the sites, Interfax reports.
The head of the CEC outlined plans on a grand scale: “First we’ll go to the east, then we will go to the north and south. Then we will go to the southwest of the region. We will return here (to Astrakhan) by 20:00 Moscow time. I will see how the votes will be counted. I won’t say it from my colleagues more accurate coordinates. Here the chairman of the regional election commission. To organize a "particularly warm welcome."
He also noted that he arrived in the region, because "he promised to come here on his last visit to Astrakhan" and that there were a lot of remarks in the mayor of Astrakhan. "

The unicorn who won the election, Mikhail Stolyarov , was caught in a bribe and extortion in the fall of last year.
In the current election, Shein is one of the candidates for governors of the Astrakhan region. The current governor of the region, Unicorn Alexander Zhilkin, also participates in them.
