In Kazan, an observer and two members of the electoral commission were fined for interfering with the work of the commission

The Magistrate Court of the first precinct of the Sovetsky district of Kazan imposed fines of 2 thousand rubles on members of the commission with advisory voting rights Maxim Pankratov and Olga Sergeeva, as well as observer Gulnara Galyautdinova, reports Idel.Realii.

Protocols were drawn up against them under Article 5.69 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (interfering with the work of the election commission and creating obstacles for voters). Pankratov, Sergeev and Galyautdinov represented Yabloko candidate Grigory Yavlinsky in the elections.

As Pankratov said in court, at polling station No. 451, the observer, who introduced himself as Yavlinsky, thought that a member of the PEC was filming him. Because of this, the observer, according to Pankratov, threatened him and tried to hit him. After this, the chairman of the commission approached the member of the PEC and asked why he did not warn about the filming. Pankratov claims that he warned about this in advance. Because of this incident, the PEC member was taken to the police station.

Sergeeva said in court that she had a conflict with members of commission No. 409 after she objected to the chairman of PEC No. 409, Svetlana Akhmerova, who was going to go to dinner after canceling the ballots.

“We opposed this and made the comment that this process should be continuous, and they can go to dinner after the procedure is completed,” Sergeeva noted.

After this, Sergeeva several more times pointed out violations to the chairman of the commission, which is why she “quit her job and said that she would not do this anymore.” After this, Akhmerova wrote a statement against Sergeeva and Galyautdinova, they were taken to the police station.

In Rostov-on-Don, Anton Prikhodko, a member of the electoral commission from the headquarters of Ksenia Sobchak, was also fined for interfering in the work of the commission. As he himself wrote on Facebook, he was detained after he “came 1.5 meters closer to the tables with lists, which means he could see and — attention — remember the personal data of voters, and then distribute them.”
