Residents of Kirovohrad regions are receiving sms-messages with the texts containing election agitation from members of the Opposition Bloc.
Such an agitation violates the law of Ukraine, the Opora Civil Network reports.
“Residents in Kirovohrad and Znamianka are complaining about sms-messages with [the texts of] agitation for candidates. In particular, Kirovohrad residents received sms, which mentioned candidates of a political party of the Opposition block: Serhiy Larin [as a candidate to] regional council, Andriy Leybenko – for Kirovohrad City Head, Andriy Teslenko – for Znamianka City Head,” reads a report.
According to Opora, the agitation via sms-distribution is not foreseen by the law “on local elections”, and the usage of confidential information, for example phone number, can be punished by Part 2 of Article 182 (the violation of private life immunity).
