Elections are underway throughout Russia. What is remarkable there

In St. Petersburg, a sharp jump in the turnout took place. At the election of the Governor of St. Petersburg, 16.26% of voters voted at 15:00-this is a little less than on the vote of 2014 (19.76%). At the same time, at 12 o’clock in the city only 6.61% of voters came to sites, and this is half as much as in the last election. There are no such suspicious jumps in Moscow. By 15 hours, 12.35%of voters voted in the Moscow City Duma (12.8%in 2014), at 12 hours the turnout was 5.62%. (Five years ago 5.5%).

Political scientist Alexander Glazlov suggested that the jump in the turnout in St. Petersburg may be associated with "a change in the administrative mobilization scheme for the elections." “But in general, my opinion is still confirmed that the withdrawal from the election of the candidate from the Communist Party, director Vladimir Borto leads to drying the appearance for these elections,” he explained to Medusa. Earlier, Medusa said that many St. Petersburg state employees should have voted not at the place of residence: this is done to raise the turnout in the governor’s elections, and its reduction in parallel voting for municipal deputies.

In the third largest city in Novosibirsk, where residents choose the mayor, the turnout for 18 hours fell from 28% in 2014 to 17% today. Five years ago, the head of the city was the Communist Anatoly Lokot, who won the campaign against United Russia Vladimir Znatkov. Then the vote was protested. Now Lokota does not have a competitor from United Russia: last year Lokot refused to participate in the governor’s elections in favor of the author of Andrei Travnikov.

Almost one and a half times the turnout in the Khabarovsk Territory has grown, where deputies of the Legislative Assembly, municipalities are selected and doomed to the State Duma (from 22.23% to 18 hours in past elections up to 31.04% this year). The region is led by the Governor of the LDPR Sergey Furgal, who was chosen on a protest wave, who was able to take the opportunity and became the most popular politician in the region. The extensors from the liberal democrats position themselves as a "team of the governor."

Some people pretend to be observers of the Voice. According to Stanislav Andreichuk, the coordinator of the movement in defense of voter rights, in Irkutsk, where they choose the Gordum, unknown in the plots say that they “bought the votes”. “In general, it seems that the policy of the CEC of Russia in recent years aimed at increasing the openness of the election commissions and respectful cooperation with observers, this year was discarded by local executors, as not related,” Andreichuk states.

From the Khabarovsk Territory, according to him, in motion “there is a stream of fake messages”, which are preoccupied. According to Stanislav Andreichuk, "in Khabarovsk, someone is intensively simulating violations." He draws attention to the fact that pro -government experts and the media talk a lot about violations by regional authorities from the Liberal Democratic Party. “At the same time, they pay little attention to real facts from other regions. From the same Far East and from Siberia there were a lot of messages (part with the applied videos and photos) about transportation and bribery, ”he explains.

All violations “Voice” captures on the “Map of Violations” .

In Moscow, there was a failure of experimental electronic voting. Voters who were registered in the system found that they could not vote. “There was a small delay, but now everything is in order,” said Yuri Ermolov, Deputy Chairman of the Moscow City War Imagine. As it turned out, the problem was in the device used for encryption.

Member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation, Ilya Massukh added that to eliminate problems, the electronic voting system had to be turned off. “The failure happened in the general infrastructure of the public services portal, we localized the problem and tried to restore the hardware and replace it. Within 15 minutes they replaced, after that the second failure occurred, I had to stop the voting system for an hour to exclude the systems due to which the failure took place, ”he explained.

The first results of voting from the Far East are already known. In the Khabarovsk Territory, in the elections to the Legislative Duma, according to the results of the calculation of a small number of ballots, while by a significant margin the LDPR leads with 49.81% of the vote, in second place from 25.38% - United Russia, in the third with 12.77% of the Communist Party. In the election of the Sakhalin Governor of the acting head of the region, Valery Limarenko is still gaining 61.7%, his closest competitor is the communist Alexei Kornienko - 21.9%.

In the Trans -Baikal Territory, the acting candidate, the acting head of the region, Alexander Osipov receives 88.25%so far. Not a single candidate from parliamentary parties does not take part in these elections: Osipov is running for a self -nominated person, the communist Yuri Gaiduk did not pass the municipal filter.
