Cases of the violation of Ukrainian legislation at polling stations were not a critical obstacle for citizens to exercise their right to vote and be elected during the presidential election in Ukraine on March 31, 2019, according to a statement of the OPORA civil network on preliminary results of election observation.
"Regular elections of the President of Ukraine on March, 31, 2019, took place in competitive environment and in compliance with basic standards of genuine elections, whereas cases of breaking national law failed to present any constraints for citizens to exercise their right to vote and be elected," the statement reads.
According to the network, on election day and during the vote count at polling stations, breaches of the law were not massive to significantly affect voting results.
At the same time, OPORA appeals to electoral subjects to facilitate investigation of breaches of the law, and finalize all the initiated procedures to prove or disprove the facts of breaking the law.
